List & Label 29 - Professional Reporting Edition

Highlights

• Drag & drop support for 1:n relations in the variable/field area in the Report Designer.
• Ready for Microsoft .NET 8 with new assemblies for the current .NET version.
• Export performance optimized for most formats by up to 60%.

Report Designer

• Enhanced drag & drop support in the designer: A frequently expressed wish has finally been realized: 1:n relationships are displayed directly in the variables/fields area of the designer now, which makes the data structure much more intuitive to grasp. If you use a data provider, creating tables is a breeze now with 1:n relationships using drag and drop.
• Adjacent crosstabs: Introduces multidimensional data analysis with adjacent crosstabs. Several completely different groupings can be displayed at column level, and are put out one after the other. For example, use a crosstab to look at customer turnover per period and country.
• Individual table design: New properties for tables in the report container allow you to easily set frame and background individually.

.NET

• Get ready for .NET 8: List & Label 29 already provides you with all perks of .NET 8 for your projects.
• New cloud storage provider for WebDAV: Support for WebDAV means you can quickly and securely provide your reports on self-hosted or public clouds.
• Improved SQLiteConnection data provider: Previously, the SQLiteConnectionDataProvider only supported tables. Now it also supports views, which can be configured, if required.
• New data provider InMemoryDataProviderWrapper: With the InMemoryDataProviderWrapper, data processing becomes a lot more efficient. Native sorting, filtering and aggregation functions for file and web formats, such as XML or REST, are now possible. The data structure remains unchanged, as does the reports’ compatibility. Caching-on-demand loads tables only when required, conserving considerable system resources.
• Data providers support schemas: The MariaDBConnectionDataProvider and the MySqlConnectionDataProvider now also support schemas. This allows the table schema to be prefixed, which means different tables with the same name, but different schemas are supported.

Export and Print

• Optimized Performance: Improvements have been made to the performance of many export formats. Particularly, XLS and CSV exports have increased in speed by up to 60 percent. In addition, the export’s memory requirements have been significantly reduced.
• Improved navigation: It’s much easier now to select a different printer in the print selection dialog.
