Release: 2.7
Below are some of the new features in Ripplestone 2.7.
- New support for additional document
types. Now, in addition to Crystal Reports, you can
store Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft
PowerPoint documents in the same folder as your Crystal
Reports. These documents can be viewed and printed directly
from the web site. Examples of these document types can be
viewed on the Ripplestone Demo at www.ripplestonedemo.net.
Use Administrator and password as
the User ID and Password.
- View Scheduled History. This will allow
you to view all the history of scheduled jobs. In previous
versions you could only view the last job run, but now you have
access to all the saved scheduled jobs. So if you want to
view the report from last week you can view it from the Scheduled
Reports page.
- Run reports from an external
application. With this highly requested feature you
can run reports from another application without first logging into
Ripplestone. This allows users to build their own
applications or embed reports into a Intranet site that can still
use the Ripplestone engine to view the published reports. You
can view an example of these by clicking on the following
link.

- Limit Printing and Exporting of reports.
This feature allows the administrator to determine if a user is
allowed to print or export a report. If you only want a user
to view a report, and not be able to print or export the
report this feature will allow you remove the print and export
buttons from the report viewer.
- Allow users to set Print Method of the Report
Viewer. The Crystal Report Viewer can allow the user to
print the report using either a pdf or directly to the printer with
an ActiveX control. This feature allows the user to select which
method they want to use to print reports.
