Reporting 뉴스

ActiveReports.NET by MESCIUS is a reporting solution for the Microsoft .NET platform that enables developers to create and deliver data-driven reports in web, desktop, and cloud applications. It supports multiple report types, including section, page, and RDL (Report Definition Language) reports, and provides visual designers, a robust rendering engine, and export options such as PDF and Excel. Designed to integrate with modern .NET and ASP.NET Core applications, it helps teams build interactive, enterprise-grade reporting features into their software.

The ActiveReports.NET v20 update introduces a new AI powered image to report capability that enables developers to convert static report images such as screenshots, mockups, PDFs, or even photos of printed pages into fully editable report layouts in minutes. By leveraging Azure Document Intelligence to analyze page structure, text, and visual elements, it significantly reduces the manual effort required to recreate existing reports, accelerates the modernization of legacy assets, and streamlines migrations from other reporting platforms. This capability provides a practical starting point for rebuilding or refining reports while preserving full control over layout structure, styling, grouping, and data bindings to ensure alignment with application architecture and development standards.

A table of contents in a report is a structured list of sections and subsections that provides an organized overview of the document's content. It typically reflects the report's hierarchy and allows readers to navigate quickly to specific sections, either through page references in printed formats or clickable links in digital formats. This functionality improves usability by reducing the time required to locate information, supporting clearer document structure, and making complex or lengthy reports easier to understand and manage. For organizations that distribute detailed analytical or operational reports, a table of contents contributes to a more professional presentation and a more efficient review process.

Several JavaScript reporting components allow you to add a table of contents, including:

• DevExpress Reporting provides a built-in table of contents control that can be bound to report elements, automatically generating entries based on defined heading levels and supporting interactive navigation in exported formats such as PDF and web previews.
• ActiveReportsJS by MESCIUS includes a table of contents component that integrates with its JavaScript-based reporting engine, enabling developers to define document map nodes and create interactive, hierarchical navigation within browser-based report viewers.
• Stimulsoft Reports.JS enables developers to create a configurable TOC using report bands, components, and bookmark functionality, with support for nested structures and interactive links in exported documents to improve navigation across complex reports.
