Thumbnailsettings always on for new and existing reports

rbuser

Hi,

We have ugraded to version 15.02 and have noticed that for new but
also existing reports the Thumbnails (a new feature I guess in this
version) are always turned on.
Is it true that this setting is turned on by default for existing
reports??
For new reports this is not an issue since we can diable it when we
create a new report, but for existing reports it feels a bit weird.

If this feature is always turned on is there a way for existing
reports to have this turned off?

regards
Paul

Hi Paul,

If your old reports are saved as templates, you can simply use the
Template.OnLoadEnd event to alter the report settings before it is printed.

Otherwise a simple custom preview with the thumbnail viewer disabled
would also be a fairly simple solution.

Hi Nico,

For reports that are requested through our windows client that bis no
problem. However we also have a webclient that uses the ReportServer.
I just had a look at the code and if I am not mistaken the
reportserver will load the report and process it and return this as
html.
Is there a way to intercept this and change the thumbnail setting?

regards

Hi Paul,

The Server edition of ReportBuilder does not support thumbnails so this
should not be an issue.

If you would like to disable the outline you can similarly use the
OnLoadEnd event of the ReportVolume component used to create your server.
