Nothing new in 2014.2 except that it is complete removed from the front web page. This is bad, the reporting tools are in dire need of being updated and fixed. The WYSIWYG report designer feels old and is missing a lot of common and practical functions.
Are the reporting components a dead end? Is something new worked upon?
I really must know. Business Critical issues are at stake for me.
...and will this new Reporting thing "ReportPlus" for desktop be included with Infragistics Professional 2015 ?
Hi,
I understand you concerns regarding the future support of the Infragistics Reporting. According to the market trends Infragistics is working to meet the latest requirements and provide a new reporting tool that supports rich data visualization, dashboards, mobility and much more. This product is ReportPlus and is available for about a year now for iOS and Android. A desktop version is about to be released later this year. That is the reason a decision for retiring the Infragistics Reporting was made. It will be supported for three more years and bug fixes will be released in the next year. In the following blog post Jason Beres has shared additional details about the process and the new reporting product: http://ko.infragistics.com/community/blogs/jason_beres/archive/2015/04/13/product-status-change-notification-infragistics-reporting.aspx. Please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions.
As we have now seen in 15.1 there is no reporting anymore. 14.2 is the last version.
If Infragistics have opted to no longer develop and support Reporting it would only be fair to let us know with a straight answer. Please, tell us of your plans.
so it looks like Infragistics is telling us "You should be using your iPhone for reports anyway, stupid!" with the release of 15.1 What? Has anyone got an alternative. this stinks because i use the Reporting a lot in several applications, some of which aren't finished yet and some that are.
Hello Timothy!
We are too heavily invested right now to switch in our current project. For new Projects, a switch is likely but we have not yet selected another Product.
We are also waiting for the "big change in reporting" that Infragistic announced will happen in their next release. But we're not having big hopes.
