In this version, the new product Dashboards.PHP released, and Blockly in the Event editor released, the scheduler functionality in the desktop Designer, the ability to fill data manually to design analytical panels and many other features and improvements are added.
Blockly
The Blockly library is integrated to create event scripts in reports. Using this tool, it`s possible to create various scripts visually without writing any code. The event script created with Blockly will be universal for all report writers. Accordingly, a report will work both in the WinForms report designer and in the JS report designer. The list of supported report component events may vary.
Framework Versions on Publish
It`s possible to select the type and version of the framework for ASP.NET MVC, WinForms, and WPF platforms in the Publish wizard. .NET Framework 4.5.2, .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0 frameworks are available. This will reduce the time it takes to integrate Stimulsoft components into an application.
Stimulsoft Dashboards.PHP
A new product - Dashboards.PHP, based on the JavaScript data analysis engine is being launched. All necessary scripts, detailed guidelines, and integration samples are available there. Take advantage of this right now to quickly and efficiently achieve analytical goals in a PHP project.
Scheduler
The Scheduler tool to automate the reporting process in Stimulsoft Designer added. Using this tool, it`s possible to convert the report and dashboard into a finished document and send them by email according to a specific schedule. Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly schedulers are available with many options for flexible scheduling.
Manual data entry
The functionality to enter data manually added for such dashboard elements as Chart, Indicator, Progress, Gauge. It`s possible to switch to manual input mode in the editors of these elements. Value entry fields are cells that are linked line by line. The number of rows is unlimited, and in cells, in addition to values, it`s also possible to specify expressions.
Exceed margins
The functionality for the Text Box component to fill the page space outside the print margins with the background color of this component added. The Exceed Margins property is used for this. Depending on the selected direction, the background color of the text component will fill the page space beyond the print margins, up to the page margins.
New element editor in a variable
The element editor in a variable improved. Now the input fields for elements are presented as a dimensionless grid in the cells of which both simple values and expressions can be specified.
Cloning in a dictionary
The ability to clone items in the data dictionary simplified. Using the Duplicate command on the context menu, it`s possible to quickly clone data sources, connections, variables, and other data dictionary elements.
Windows 11 support
Before releasing the new version of the Windows 11 operating system, it`s a good idea to say that the tool is completely ready for the latest OS version. In addition, a Windows 11 GUI theme to the WPF report designer added.
Text in shapes
The ability to specify text inside shapes added. This feature is available for most shapes - a text entry field located in the editor of the Shape component.
