Key Benefits

• Enhanced data clarity: Users can easily emphasize important ranges or thresholds on charts.
• Improved customization: Flexible configuration options for both primary and secondary axis.
• Intuitive interaction: Add, edit, show/hide, and delete striplines directly from the chart axis properties panel for a seamless design experience.
• Consistent experience: StripLines settings are saved with the report and work across all supported themes and cultures.

View documentation

Report Part Version History

Report Parts, the shared, reusable components embedded across multiple reports, now maintain a full version history.

When a shared component is updated, administrators can compare revisions and restore an earlier version if the change causes unintended effects across the reports that depend on it.

View documentation

Custom Email Templates for Notifications

Administrators can create custom email templates and assign them to specific notification categories, such as scheduled export delivery or access request confirmations.

Each template’s subject line, body content, tone, and visual design can be tailored so every email Bold Reports sends reflects the organization’s brand and communication standards.

View documentation

KMS-Encrypted Scheduled S3 Exports

Scheduled exports delivered to Amazon S3 can now apply AWS KMS encryption at the destination, configured directly in the export settings.

Regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government can meet at-rest encryption requirements without post-export scripts or third-party encryption tools.

View documentation

Custom Password Protection in Scheduled Exports

Administrators can now set a specific, fixed password for exported files in scheduled jobs, in addition to the existing dynamic password options.

This is especially useful for exports going to external recipients or compliance archives, where a predictable password needs to be communicated through a separate channel.

View documentation

IP and Domain-Based Report Security

Report Security policies can now restrict access to specific reports based on configured IP addresses and domains, blocking any access attempt from outside those boundaries.

This adds a granular, report-level access layer for sensitive financial, HR, or proprietary data that should stay within the corporate network or trusted partner domains.

View documentation

Multiple Export Formats in a Single Operation

Select PDF, Excel, Word, and CSV simultaneously from the report explorer’s context menu, or configure a scheduled job to deliver every format in one run.

This removes the need for separate scheduled jobs or manual re-exports when different stakeholders require different file formats.

View documentation

Cross-Tenant Report Copy API

New APIs let administrators copy multiple reports to multiple external tenants in a single call, replacing the previous one-by-one approach.

ISV and SaaS platforms managing large tenant portfolios can now push report updates programmatically, keeping every tenant consistent with far less manual effort.

View documentation

Schedule Activity Logs and Execution History APIs

New APIs expose schedule run data, including successful deliveries, failures, last and next run time, and delivery location, retrievable by Schedule ID.

Operations teams can pull this data into existing monitoring dashboards and alerting systems without logging into the Report Server UI.

View documentation

OpenTelemetry Support for Backend Observability

Report Server now supports OpenTelemetry instrumentation for its backend workflow, complementing existing Log4Net logging and optional Sentry integration.

Teams standardized on Datadog, Grafana, Jaeger, or Azure Monitor can fold Bold Reports into their existing tracing pipeline and correlate its traces with the rest of their cloud-native architecture.

OCI Object Storage and Azure x64 Support

Report Server can now use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage as a storage backend with native OCI credentials, and adds x64 architecture support for Azure deployments.

Organizations running on Oracle Cloud can store report files and exports directly in OCI rather than relying on third-party storage adapters.

Default Group Auto-Assignment for Authenticated Users

Users authenticating via Windows AD, OpenID, or OAuth can now be automatically added to a designated Default Group on first sign-in.

This removes a manual onboarding step and ensures every new user immediately inherits the correct base-level permissions in large-scale deployments.

Report Viewer

List Styles in PDF and PPT Exports

Provided support for exporting bulleted and numbered list styles in text boxes to PDF and PowerPoint formats. Exported documents now keep the same bullets, numbering and indentation shown in the Report Viewer.

Constant Evaluation Mode in Report Viewer

Previously, any expression added to a text box was always evaluated in the report and its result displayed. Now, setting EvaluationMode=”Constant” on a text box value skips evaluation and shows the raw expression as plain text in the Report Viewer.

Display ReportID Using a Global Expression

Provided support for the Globals!ReportID global expression in the Report Viewer, which you can use in any report expression. Use it to display, reference or build logic around the report’s unique identifier, which makes reports easier to identify and track.

Bold Data Hub

Presto and Trino Data Sources in Bold Data Hub

Bold Data Hub now connects natively to Presto and Trino, the distributed SQL engines that power query layers across object storage, Hive, Iceberg, Delta Lake, and other data-lake formats.

Teams running analytics on these engines can bring that data into Bold Reports directly, without building custom connectors or intermediate ETL steps.

IDP

Email Settings Inheritance from UMS to Tenant Sites

Email configuration set at the UMS level now automatically inherits down to every tenant site, so administrators no longer need to configure email settings on each site individually after deployment.

This keeps notification delivery consistent across the entire tenant portfolio and removes a recurring source of misconfiguration.

Login Activity Audit Logs

A new Login Activity tab in Audit Logs gives administrators a searchable, time-stamped record of user login events with IP address details.

Security and compliance teams can pull this information directly from the Bold Reports admin interface for reviews, incident response, and audits, without aggregating logs from external systems.

Improvements

Report Designer

Enhanced Tablix Wizard Field Picker

The Tablix Wizard field picker now supports search, multi-selection, and a one-click reset, making it faster to build tables and matrices from wide datasets.

View documentation

Report Explorer Edit and Delete Actions

Edit and Delete actions are now available directly from the Report Explorer’s panel, speeding up report item management.

View documentation

Expanded Localization Support

The Report Designer now supports eight additional locales: el-GR, en-GB, nl-NL, da-DK, fi-FI, cs-CZ, et-EE, and th-TH, extending native-language design to more regional teams.

Security Hardening

Fixed multiple security vulnerabilities identified in the Report Designer, reducing exposure to potential exploits and strengthening the application’s overall security posture.

New Shape Types in Shape CRI

The Shape custom report item supports additional shape types, including operator and flow shapes used in process and calculation diagrams. Operator shapes such as Plus, Minus, Multiplication, Division, and Equation represent calculations, while arrows, Trapezoid, and Parallelogram help depict process flows.

View documentation

Bootstrap 5.3 Theme

Added support for the Bootstrap 5.3 theme in the Report Designer, enabling reports to align with the latest Bootstrap styling standards.

Report Server

Overwrite Reports Across Tenants

Added support for overwriting reports across tenants, automatically replacing the target report and synchronizing its associated file with the source report definition.

CC Support for Scheduling Recipients

Added CC support for scheduling recipients, allowing users to include additional recipients in scheduled email notifications.

Get Multiple User Permission API

Introduced the Get Multiple User Permission API, enabling retrieval of permission details for multiple users in a single request.

Also added support for publishing a specific report version through the API.

Granular User Management Controls

Added HideAddUser and RestrictManageProfile configuration nodes to customize user management visibility and restrict profile management actions.

Also introduced a User Account Creation toggle in OAuth/OpenID settings to control automatic user provisioning during authentication.

Password-Protected Exports via API

Added support for password-protected report exports through the Export API.

Enhanced Schedule Information Retrieval

Enhanced schedule information retrieval by including Last Run Time, Next Scheduled Run, Schedule Status, File Location, and Schedule Parameters.

Also added support for configuring schedule parameter values as expressions during schedule creation and updates.

Bulk Copy Reports Across Tenants

Added support for bulk copying reports across multiple internal and external tenants, simplifying cross-tenant report migration and distribution.

Report Viewer

Syncfusion Package Upgrade

Upgraded the underlying Syncfusion package to version 33.1.44 across the Report Viewer and Report Writer. The update brings in the latest upstream bug fixes and performance improvements from Syncfusion’s chart and export engines.

Improved Chart Data Label Rendering

Improved data label rendering for the 100% stacked column chart in the Report Viewer, fixing overlapping and misplaced labels across stacked series. Labels now stay legible even with several stacked segments in one column.

Chart Maximum Value Support

Improved support for maximum values in charts, aligning axis and scale behavior with SSRS standards. This keeps chart scaling predictable when migrating reports from SSRS.

Multi-Stripline Support in Charts

Improved multi-stripline support in chart items in the EJ2 Viewer, so multiple striplines now render correctly on the same chart. Reports using several threshold lines on one axis now render them all accurately.

HTML Entity Rendering

Improved HTML entity rendering in the Report Viewer, so encoded characters in report text now display correctly instead of showing raw entity codes. Reports display clean, readable text without manual unescaping.

Custom Query Execution Error Messages

Added support to display an error message along with a custom message during query execution. Report authors and end users now see additional context when a data source query fails.

TextBox Writing Mode Support

Improved support for the TextBox WritingMode property, including Vertical and Rotate270 modes, in the Report Viewer. Reports relying on these writing modes now render consistently between the designer and the viewer.

HIDEDROPDOWNSELECTALL Custom Property

Added support for the HIDEDROPDOWNSELECTALL custom property to hide the Select All option based on the parameter name. This gives report authors per-parameter control over dropdown behavior.

Export Naming by Report ID

Provided support to export server reports with the report name when the report ID is specified in the report path. Exported files now carry a readable report name instead of an opaque identifier.

Bold Data Hub

StarRocks Connectivity via MySQL Protocol

Migrated StarRocks destination connectivity to use the MySQL protocol instead of the previous native driver. This gives pipelines a more stable, widely supported connection path to StarRocks. Existing StarRocks destinations continue to work without reconfiguration.

Primary Key Support for Redshift

Added support for primary keys in the Redshift destination, so pipelines can now define primary key columns when writing to Redshift tables. This enables upsert-style writes that update existing rows instead of only appending new ones. It also helps enforce row-level uniqueness on the destination side.

IDP

Automatic Default User Group Assignment

Introduced a new setting in OpenID, OAuth, and JWT authentication configurations that automatically adds authenticated users to the default user group during login, simplifying user onboarding and access management.

Expanded Custom UI Access Controls

Added the RestrictManageProfile and HideAddUser nodes to custom_ui_reports.json, providing enhanced access control by restricting profile management actions and hiding user creation options in the user interface.

GET and POST Support in JWT Embedding

Added support for handling both GET and POST requests in JWT authentication embedding scenarios.

Login Activity Tab in Audit Logs

Added a new Login Activity tab to the Audit Logs page, displaying user login events along with IP address details for improved security monitoring.
