Top New Features in Bold Reports in 2024
Efficient Record Rendering in Seconds
Bold Reports enables the easy rendering of millions of records by using properties like PageCreation, VirtualEvaluation, AutoGrowText, and FetchLimit. Proper configuration of these settings ensures users can handle large datasets efficiently, achieving quick rendering times. For the best results, set the PageCreation property to OnDemand and activate VirtualEvaluation to minimize memory usage when processing extensive reports.
Effortless Word-to-RDL Conversion
Bold Reports allows users to convert Microsoft Word documents into report definition language (RDL) files. The process involves uploading a Word document, initiating the conversion, and then downloading the resulting RDL file, which can be further refined using the Bold Report Designer. This feature is particularly beneficial for users looking to transition from traditional Word documents to more powerful reporting formats while preserving essential formatting elements such as headers, footers, tables, and images.

Bold Reports allows users to sign reports directly within the Report Designer and Viewer, enhancing the overall user experience by enabling seamless e-signature capabilities. Users can export signed documents, making it easier to manage and share finalized reports.
Bold Data Hub Service
Bold Reports is designed to extract data from various sources, transform it as needed, and load it into the Bold Reports data store for analysis and reporting. The Bold Data Hub facilitates seamless integration of multiple data sources, allowing users to handle complex data workflows effectively. It is included by default in the Bold Reports platform, ensuring that users can leverage its capabilities for enhanced data management and reporting functionalities.
Report Parts
Report parts are reusable components that can be used to compose complex reports with ease. These parts can include tables, charts, graphs, text elements, and more. By standardizing report parts, businesses ensure consistency in data presentation, which is essential for accurate analysis and comparison over time. The use of report parts also simplifies report maintenance and updates.
