Version 7.2.0
JasperReports Server 7.2 added these features:
| • | New Domain Designer. We improved and rebuilt the Domain designer's presentation and functionality with: |
| • | All New User Experience. Our modern web UI with streamlined workflows helps you quickly define and manage Domains, including these helpful usability features: |
| • | Support for searching across the Domain designer helps you manage large Domains efficiently. |
| • | Undo, Redo, and Undo All buttons. |
| • | One single Save button (Save and Submit is removed). |
| • | Context-based designer space. |
| • | Support for profile attributes as schema names, derived tables, calculated fields, and pre-filters. |
| • | Improved Special Character Handling. We added support for many characters in schema, table, and field names. |
| • | Improved Joins Support. New features and UI improvements include: |
| • | New drag and drop interaction helps you create join trees and expressions; you can view the overall logical data model and expand into each join tree. |
| • | The abilities to rename join trees, use more join operators, and create constant joins. |
| • | Support for advanced joins that use either a Full or Minimum join path. With Minimum paths, you can assign join weights and force tables to always be included in your overall join expression. |
| • | Redesigned Presentation including: |
| • | A single element can now be part of multiple sets (your no longer need to duplicate fields). |
| • | Sets and items belonging to a single join tree are neatly organized under data islands, providing a clear view of their relationships. |
| • | Improved presentation shows the properties of sets and items directly on the Presentation tab. |
| • | Inline editing of properties without the need to click an Edit button. |
| • | Similar items and their properties can be compared using search. |
| • | Validation and performance improvements, including: |
| • | The new model checks the validity of the Domain with every action, and provides real-time feedback in the form of useful icons, helping you maintain the Domain's validity and save without losing changes. |
| • | Better interface components, paginated loading, and refined client-side rendering all improve the performance of Domains; the new designer handles thousands of tables. |
| • | New platforms. This release adds several new third-party platforms: |
| • | Tomcat versions 9.0.1 through 9.0.17 |
| • | WildFly 13, 14, 15, and 16 |
| • | Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.3 |
| • | Microsoft SQL Server 2017 |
| • | Oracle Database 12c Release 2 12.2.0.1 |
| • | Legacy Dashboards End of Life. With this release, legacy dashboards are no longer available to view or edit. These older objects are no longer supported. Legacy Dashboards refers to those developed with the JasperReports Server dashboard designer in versions earlier than 6. These dashboards utilized older architecture that we deprecated. If your installation still includes dashboards in the legacy dashboard format, please recreate them in the new Dashboard designer before migrating to this release. |
| • | Accessibility Support. To help visually impaired users, we improved keyboard and screen-reader support in the report viewer. You can now navigate the main report viewer menu structure using the keyboard and hear interface descriptions using JAWS-enabled screen readers. |
| • | JasperReports Library. This new version provides dynamic control of page numbers. |
| • | Jaspersoft Studio 7.3. This new version supports Spotfire 7.11 and higher. |
