ActiveReportsJS: What's New in version 6.2

Introducing AI assistance

You can now use AI assistance when building reports, whether you're working in the Standalone Report Designer or the Report Designer component embedded in your own application.

The Explore feature builds table, tablix, and chart visualizations using AI instead of relying solely on the built-in static algorithm: click Explore on a data set (or just a few of its selected fields) and, once configured, the designer sends the field names and types (never your data) to your AI provider and returns ready-to-use visualizations, complete with plain-language descriptions and a switchable color theme. If AI assistance isn't configured, or a request fails, Explore falls back to the classic built-in visuals automatically. Check out the Explore function documentation for more information.

Pick whichever provider fits your stack — OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, or a fully private, on-machine Ollama model. Configure it once, via ai-config.json Standalone Report Designer App, or through an AI reporting endpoint in your own hosting application.

Angular 22 Support

The Report Designer and Report Viewer Angular wrappers now support Angular 22. Update to the latest version to build against Angular 22 in your projects.

Multivalue Parameter Enhancements

Multivalue parameters gain two new options. Enable Empty Array lets a multivalue parameter be submitted with no values selected, instead of always requiring at least one. Select All Value sets the literal value passed to the parameter when a user picks (all) in the parameter panel, so you can hand a query a single sentinel value like * instead of every individual value in the list. Check out the Parameters documentation for more information.

Report Designer API Enhancements

The report designer component now allows you to set the default paper size for newly created reports. You can use a standard paper size or a custom one. Check the designer configuration documentation for more details.
