375668@LAC365FO - Data Source replacement does not work when copying a subreport from one report to another

A problem used to arise when copying a subreport from one report to another: despite choosing what to replace, the data source/table was not properly replaced.

375405@LAC365FO - Issue using filter within the structure when using the task recorder (playback)

In previous versions it was not possible to record the use of a filter in the report list and within the structure/elements.

This has been fixed: it is now possible to use a filter for both the report list and within the structure/elements.

Search for a value within the structure/elements:

The task recorder did not include the steps used for the filter:

374026@LAC365FO - Report attachment from Archives/Attachments - Parameter needed for maximum number of attachments in an email

In Lasernet FO Connector 6.19, it is possible to set a maximum number of attachments to an email.

In the previous version, the maximum number of attachments was set to 100 and not adjustable.

Location: Lasernet > Setup > Parameters > Performance

In the case of a non-specified maximum limit, when there are 101 attachments, the system will automatically default to a limit of 100 attachments, thereby excluding the final attachment from being added and sent.

Having two display methods with the same label added the label only once to the XML file.

Previous versions of Lasernet FO Connector	Lasernet FO Connector 6.19

This has been updated.

Previous versions of Lasernet FO Connector	Lasernet FO Connector 6.19

When working with labels/language texts in Lasernet FO Connector, customized views provide the option to exclude all not needed languages. Follow these steps:

1. Filter all needed languages.

2. Click the Stand view dropdown and select Save as.

3. Provide a name and enable Pin as default view as this will ensure the view/filter is used by default next time the form is opened. Only needed languages will be shown.

369465@LAC365FO - WHSPickListProduction report always loads print management only fix

Standard Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations always uses the setting from print management when printing the Picking list report, regardless of what is specified within the printer dialog.

A fix, which users can disable/enable, has been added as part of the hotfixes.

343705@LAC365FO - Question: Possible To Change LanguageId on CE Report Using IF Statement

An option to limit the available languages when running a report from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement has been introduced.

This avoids all languages for the report from being listed within the printer dialog in Lasernet FO Connector/Lasernet CEConnector.

Lasernet > Dataverse/Dynamics 365 > Entity reports

The option will be presented as follows within the printer dialog in Dynamics 365:

Enable Allow language enforce for the Report/class report, in case this new option is used. This is located in Lasernet > Common > Reports > Security.

The Report/class report is found in Lasernet > Dataverse/Dynamics 365 > Entity reports > Report name.

In Lasernet FO Connector 6.19, it is possible to identify from which company a Report/Class report should be executed.

Previously, the company/legal entity was ‘locked’ to the company associated with the user used for granting permission (consent).

345347@LAC365FO - Expression editor - Context.EventLink

The following warning was thrown within the Expression editor after selecting EventLink from the Context:

A possible workaround was selecting EventLink through the dropdown instead of the Expression.

Previous version of Lasernet FO Connector	Lasernet FO Connector 6.19

353833@LAC365FO - Aggressive GC collection

An option to enable an ”Aggressive Garbage collection” has been introduced in Lasernet FO Connector.

It will ensure memory is kept low by doing a Garbage collection after each report execution, as well as add additional execution time.

It should only be used/enabled for debugging purposes or if an environment is slowing down over time.

Use Top picking in T&P to verify/validate the time overhead added by running a number of reports with and without Aggressive enabled.

No impact if this setting is used when running reports through a batch task as the behaviour at a batch server is slightly different compared to non-batch.

Aggressive GC

Aggressive garbage collection after each report execution. Use this if you experience your environment memory rising, or slowing down at the end of the day.

Top picking in T&P for validating overhead:

Aggressive	Disabled	Enabled
Report: Sales confirmation

374062@LAC365FO - Report attachment form Archives/Attachments - Parameter needed for Maximum of attachments limit

In Lasernet FO Connector 6.19, it is possible to set a maximum number of attachments to an email. In the previous version, the maximum number of attachments was set to 100 and not adjustable.

Location: Lasernet > Setup > Parameters > Performance > Maximum number of attachments

In the case of a non-specified maximum limit, when there are 101 attachments, the system will automatically default to a limit of 100 attachments, thereby excluding the final attachment from being sent.

367917@LAC365FO - Currency format for “de-ch” is wrong

The number formatting for the Language/Culture xx-ch has been updated.

Language	Previous version of Lasernet FO Connector
de-ch
it-ch

Descriptions (help text) have been added for the Lasernet roles.

Previous version of Lasernet FO Connector	Lasernet FO Connector 6.19

335020@LAC365FO - Lasernet Original Preview creates archive record as a “Copy” (Fixed: resend of “Original preview” being assigned to “Copy”)

In the previous version, all records of SSRS reports were created with the property “Copy” set to “Yes”. This happened if the “Dialog options” of SSRS reports were “Run to specified destination”.

This has been fixed.

Previous version of Lasernet FO Connector	Lasernet FO Connector 6.19

342044@LAC365FO - Wrong writing direction in Review before sending email fields

Writing direction was sometimes changing from Right to Left (RTL) within the Review of a document.

This happened when either typing within the existing context or when “marking” (blur) and adjusting, or deleting existing information.

It happened for the fields Email, Cc, Bcc.    

Marking and deleting existing information:

Writing direction RTL when typing (like Kim.Agerholm@Formpipe.com in the following):

This has been fixed by forcing the proper writing direction.

It is normally not required to specify a writing direction. However, this feature is added to avoid any situations in which writing directions are changed.
