We are thrilled to announce the release of Bold Reports® v9.1.7, which introduces new features, fixes, and performance enhancements to elevate your self-service and embedded reporting experiences. From a new ruler feature in the designer to MongoDB and globalization support, the Bold Reports v9.1.7 release is packed with powerful updates designed to streamline report creation, enhance data integration, and deliver an enhanced interface for everyone.
Let’s look at these latest enhancements!
Bold Data Hub Enhancements
Salesforce connector
You can now load your Salesforce reports directly into the Bold Data Hub, making data extraction and integration easier.
CDC integration
You can now integrate with Postgres using the CDN approach in the Bold Data Hub for real-time updates and more accurate reporting.
Report Designer and Server highlights
MongoDB Data Connector
Connecting to your MongoDB databases is now simpler than ever. Our built-in MongoDB connector enables users to connect, query, and visualize MongoDB collections with enhanced performance and support for complex queries.
Oracle Query Design Mode
Oracle is now supported in query design mode, making SQL query creation easier. Users can build queries using a drag-and-drop editor or direct SQL input, with support for filters, expressions, parameters, and table joins.
New Shape Report Item
A shape report item has been introduced, allowing users to insert shapes like triangles, rectangles, stars, and arrows in their reports. Users can customize its rotation, fill color, and line style properties, along with its advanced features like star count, concavity, and arrow dimensions.
Ruler for Precise Report Design
A ruler feature is now available in the Report Designer, helping users accurately align and position report items within the design area. It displays the exact mouse position along the ruler lines, enabling precise layout.
Visual Page Margin Indicator
With the new page margin feature, users get a clear visual representation of margin areas to simplify layout.
Material Theme Support
Enjoy a sleek and consistent design experience in the Report Designer with its new Material theme, offering both light and dark modes.
Smarter Schema Search in Query Designer
Database schema search functionality was enhanced in the query designer. The schema tree now dynamically loads and retrieves data during each search, eliminating the need to manually expand it and ensuring more efficient navigation.
SSO via embedded iframe
Enable seamless authentication with single sign-on (SSO) via an embedded iframe; no extra logins required.
Custom UI via a single JSON file in MSSQL
You can now customize the UI to align with your brand from a single JSON file stored in MSSQL. This gives you centralized control of design elements across reports and the interface.
Other improvements and minor fixes
Other than these major enhancements, we have also made several optimizations to our product to improve performance and make your overall experience smoother and more reliable:
- Security: You can now sign out smoothly and safely using the new logout URL support for OAuth and OpenID SSO.
- Performance: With better schema filtering in the query designer, you can quickly find the right data for your reports and work more efficiently.
- Layout improvement: The table grouping toggle layout in Excel exports has been improved to ensure that summarized data is clearly displayed when rows or columns are toggled.
- Bug fixes: Issues related to Nested JSON, SQL connector passwords, Python logging, schedule history, Excel validation, DuckDB conflicts, and Postgres schema handling have been resolved, resulting in smoother data integration and improved accuracy.
