Bold Data Hub Enhancements
New connectors: SQLite, Asana, MariaDB, and Google BigQuery
The Bold Data Hub has new connectors for SQLite, Asana, MariaDB, and Google BigQuery to unify and analyze data from a broader range of sources.
MinIO destination support
Now, you can directly export data from and store data in MinIO, expanding your options for cloud-native storage within the Bold Data Hub.
Report Designer
SSH public key authentication
Enjoy enhanced data source security with SSH public key authentication support for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL connections. This addition provides a more secure and flexible way to connect to your databases, complementing existing password-based authentication methods.
Multi TextRun support for Tablix
With the newly added multi TextRun support for cells in the Tablix report item, designers can now apply rich text formatting to different parts of the text within a single cell. This provides greater flexibility in customizing the appearance of cell content in your reports.
Advanced chart axis controls
Designers can take advantage of expanded chart report item axis properties:
- Reverse: Reverses the axis direction, displaying values from high to low.
- Log Scale: Enables logarithmic scaling on the axis to better visualize data with large value ranges.
- Log Base: Sets the logarithmic base (e.g., 2 or 10) when log scale is applied.
- Interval: Controls the spacing between major and minor tick marks for clearer axis labeling.
- Interval Type: Defines the unit of measurement (e.g., number, years, months) for major and minor tick intervals.
MongoDB standard and SRV connection support
The MongoDB data connector now supports both standard and SRV connection string formats, offering greater compatibility with various MongoDB deployments, including cloud-hosted clusters like MongoDB Atlas.
Report Viewer
On-demand report processing beta engine
The new on-demand report processing beta engine fetches additional data as users navigate, initially loading the top 1,000 records. This paging-based approach optimizes large dataset rendering by not loading the full dataset into memory, reducing initial load time and maintaining low memory usage.
Custom PDF and HTML report items
HTML and PDF report items are now supported in both the report viewer and designer, allowing users to seamlessly embed HTML content—such as online URLs, plain HTML, or full HTML documents—and PDF files directly into reports.
Custom export file naming with ExportFileName
Reports can now be exported with a user-defined file name using the new ExportFileName custom property, giving you greater control over exported report output.
Option to hide excel header while exporting
Users can now exclude the report header when exporting to Excel with the HideExcelHeader property. This feature provides cleaner exports tailored to specific reporting needs or formatting preferences.
Report Server Highlights
Reverse proxy configuration support
Support for reverse proxy configuration has been added, offering you enhanced security and flexible deployment scenarios for various hosting environments.
Expanded API support for report management
New API methods enable adding and updating Web API data sources, retrieving report parameters, moving reports between categories, and accessing version history for reports or datasets.
Deployment reports support
Seamlessly publish reports from the master site to all deployment nodes with our new deployment grid support. This streamlines report management and ensures consistent reporting across your entire environment.
Menu bar layout update
Now, the Help, Notifications, and User Profile sections are located in the top-right corner of the menu bar, allowing quicker and more convenient access for users.
Other Improvements and Minor Fixes
Other than these major enhancements, we have also made several optimizations to our product:
- Performance: We migrated the Report Designer application from CefSharp to WebView2 for improved performance and modern browser support.
- Bug fixes: Resolved issues with ETL server errors in sub-applications, Redshift extraction failures for large tables, incorrect status from Token API in Guess Point, report preview failures in Vertafore, default parameter configuration issues in Collset Ltd., and GetScheduleItemDetail API errors in Kiwiuc to allow users to experience smoother, more reliable operations across these systems.
