List & Label Professional Reporting Edition 28

List & Label Professional Reporting Edition 28

Adds more than 50 new features and enhancements including improved Excel export and .NET 7 support.

Web and Cloud
Web Report Designer with New Design Options.

• Designer objects: Take advantage of new objects for your report templates such as gauges, data graphics, checkboxes and PDF files.
• Charts: Create pie charts intuitively with just a few clicks. Further chart types will be added successively.
• Repository: Add structure and clarity to the content of your repository. Folder structures are supported automatically without the need for changes to existing implementations.
• Table editor: Create and reposition cells with no effort using drag and drop. Properties can also be adapted more easily and conveniently in the new table editor.

 

Export

• Microsoft Excel Export Extended with Your Own Ideas
  • Excel formulas in worksheets: As an option, all texts in the Designer that begin with “=” can be automatically converted into an Excel formula. For example, you can set the current date in the spreadsheet using Excel formula “=TODAY()” in the report.
  • Headers and footers: Define the content of optional headers and footers for each page when printing from Excel with the help of new export options. This is helpful e.g. for the output of page numbers.
  • Column width: Well-proportioned data export – the Excel function for automatic column width adjustment is now used as a standard feature for data export.
  • Password protection: Use a password to protect your Excel spreadsheets from various types of manipulation such as deletion, insertion and formatting.
• PDF Export
  • Specify whether or not commenting and filling out of form and signature fields is permitted for encrypted PDF export. Two new options make it possible.
• Microsoft Word Export
  • Specify the additional document properties title, author, subject and keywords when exporting Word documents.
• XHTML Export
  • Retain a clear overview even when scrolling: table headers can now be pinned so that they’re always visible at the top.

New for .NET

• New data providers: Link your MariaDB or Azure Cosmos DB database to List & Label. With the new data providers, you only need a few lines of source code.
• Images in data sources: Enjoy the multiple benefits offered by optimized use of byte arrays for images. Image formats supported by List & Label are automatically recognized and used on the fly – without time-consuming conversions. This results in optimized runtime, smaller preview files and enhanced support for format-specific properties such as transparency for PNG files.

Report Server
Build Faster with Subreports and Includes.

• Subreports and project includes: Save time when creating new reports and easily incorporate recurring elements such as letterheads, tables and charts as subreports or includes. New export format options:
  • Word: Specify the document properties title, author, subject and keywords.
  • Excel: Password protection for spreadsheets.
  • HTML: Pin headers in tables.
  • PDF: Additional security options for encryption.
• Scheduled reports: Easily disable scheduled reports by clicking a button in the user interface.
• SSL/TLS support: Upload your reports to FTP servers secured with SSL/TLS using the FTP/FTPS upload feature. Optional certificate verification can also be selected.

More Highlights

• Distribute Emails via Graph-API
  • Send emails via the Microsoft Graph API platform as a future-proof solution for integrated email distribution via List & Label.
• Report Parameters
  • Enhanced performance: Empower your users to create reports with large amounts of data even faster – thanks to improved runtime for interdependent parameters. Work becomes smoother as a result.
  • Easy filtering: Retain clarity when selecting report parameters – even with large numbers of entries – and filter conveniently according to the desired value.
• New Barcode Type
  • Use List & Label to create EPC QR codes, also known as GiroCode. This standardized QR code contains all of the data required for SEPA credit transfers.
• Page Breaks
  • Insert page breaks at any position for plain as well as formatted text objects using the new PageBreak$() designer function.
• Object List
  • Simultaneously select several report container elements in the object list. Convenient multiple selection saves time by making it possible to change the identical properties for all selected elements at a single stroke.
• Preview
  • Jump back to the beginning automatically when the search in the preview reaches the end of the document.

Please note that not all updates are available in all List & Label Editions.
