Other New Features / Capabilities:

Variable Graphics

Specify a data field (including a calc field!) that holds the name of picture file (BMP, PCX, JPG, etc.) and R&R will place that named picture in the layout. This feature is great for product catalogs, personnel dossiers, or presenting any information that combines data with pictures. Since a picture is worth 1000 words, see the example in the RattleRRtm demo.

Saving of MAPI and E-Mail Bursting Options

Upon request of our loyal users, we now allow you to save the settings for MAPI and E-Mail Bursting Options with the report. To insure that the MAPI or Bursting does not occur unless you want it to, you just have to click the ‘Send via MAPI’ button in the export. Please use with care!

Dotted and Dashed Lines

Lines and boxes now have an additional option to change the line style, allowing various pens for dotted and dashed lines. Enjoy them, but please don’t go overboard!

ParameteRR driven scope values (xBase Designer only)

Speed report processing by selecting the starting and ending values for the report based on a ParameteRRtm value. Using the master table ‘scope’ instructs R&R to read and process just a portion of the master table, instead of the entire thing. This extends the capabilities of ParameteRRs, which were a very popular feature added in V9.

Report Preview Rerun

We have added a new option from the Report Preview window for both runtime applications and Report Designer. With a single-click the user can regenerate the report, with ParameteRR prompts if applicable. No need to return to the report designer an application’s runtime report launch. For example, you can have ParameteRRs to hide report details, sort the report a different way, apply new filtering values – modify any R&R report function!

System User Defined Function (UDF) File

Hey Developers! Do you want to send a standard UDF file but still want your user base to be able to define their own? Now R&R will search TWO separate UDF files (RR.UDF and SYS.UDF) to locate available functions. Users continue to update RR.UDF as before, while you can maintain and distribute SYS.UDF.
