EspressReport v5.3 New Features
- Drawing Charts using Aggregation Data:
Charts in reports can now display
the corresponding aggregation values in a summary break, crosstab and master detail report
based on the location of the chart. This feature allows users to create charts using
aggregations from multiple groups.
- Linking DrillDown Reports:
When inserting an existing report as a drill down level,
the drill down structure in that report will now be transfered over as well.
- Replace Column Data (API Only):
This feature allows users to replace column data at run time.
A useful application of this feature is to decrypt data for online reporting while securely hiding the underlying
decryption function from the user.
- Language Translation Utility:
A visual editing tool is added to allow users
to easily translate the user interfaces to a specific languages.
New Chart Features
- Patterns:
Users can now use patterns to fill data points.
This feature not only provides another level in differentiating between columns in a
chart, it also provides assistance for vision impaired users.
- Parameter Value in Chart Labels:
Allows users to display
the selected parameter value in chart labels and titles.
- Dial Chart Enhancements:
Users can now draw the dial area,
border, and center point at any angle.
- Show Pie Chart Value in Legend:
In addition to showing the percentages,
chart values can also be shown in labels now.
- User Guide Browser:
The new user guide browser incorporates a search tool that makes
finding help as easy as typing in the keyword and clicking go.
