Fixes and Enhancements
Case No. | Area | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
439241@LAC365FO | General | Running Proforma reports should not involve the use of Force re-run, as no entry for the Archive exists. | Bug fix |
439140@LAC365FO | Standard Kernel | Object reference error on Range expression Report dialog > Default ranges. | Bug fix |
437415@LAC365FO | General | An X symbol has been introduced in filters to clear/remove already typed information. | Enhancement |
437301@LAC365FO | General | Using the X symbol should not cause an error. | Bug fix |
437205@LAC365FO | Embedded | An option has been introduced to lock a version of the designs. | Enhancement |
435566@LAC365FO | Essentials | No more than three reports can be active at one time. | Enhancement |
436711@LAC365FO | Embedded | A wizard has been introduced for a dedicated server. | Enhancement |
435032@LAC365FO | Query wizard | Selected fields are sorted alphabetically within the Query wizard. | Enhancement |
433026@LAC365FO | Memory/performance | The memory usage for the method hasGui() in the global class has been lowered. | Enhancement |
432495@LAC365FO | Essentials | The Lasernet FO Connector version has been added to the Lasernet parameters for Essentials. | Enhancement |
432481@LAC365FO | Essentials | Iterate and only save ten versions of each design. | Enhancement |
431949@LAC365FO | Data management | Row version change tracking for tables and data entities. | Enhancement |
432685@LAC365FO | Translation | The label has been changed from Wizard to Query wizard. | Enhancement |
432640@LAC365FO | Translation | Typos in Help text and Setup wizard. | Bug fix |
432497@LAC365FO | Lasernet Form Editor | Improved authentication within the Lasernet Form Editor. | Enhancement |
432210@LAC365FO | General functionality | Hide Open reports, Fax, Custom port, and Open designer only if XML (grab) exists. Hide Lasernet Archive from the standard journals. | Enhancement |
430284@LAC365FO | Administration/Infrastructure | A Validate button has been introduced for the back office. | Enhancement |
430079@LAC365FO | Design | Image gallery | Enhancement |
430070@LAC365FO 430067@LAC365FO | Printing | Lasernet Cloud Print Connector (CPC), new installer (UI), no need for Run as Admin. | Enhancement |
430064@LAC365FO | Report | Configure attachments directly from Document handling with OneClick. | Enhancement |
430588@LAC365FO | Report | Simplified Query wizard: The existing Lasernet FO Connector includes several properties. Removing as many as possible would lower complexity, enhance performance, and, therefore, lower support requests. The idea is to hide all properties except the table names and the language texts/labels at the top level. |
|
430290@LAC365FO | Report | Images in workspace: Using Images in the workspace when adding an image should add/merge the image with the single entry in the Archive, which is provided as part of Lasernet Essentials. This would ensure that Open designer can be used in the workspace without running the report. | Enhancement |
431031@LAC365FO | General | All labels and Help text are translated into all available 25 languages. | Enhancement |
430082@LAC365FO | Infrastructure | Using an Azure Front Door will ensure performance when downloading from any region. It will also lower the risk of attack on the shared storage, as information will be saved in the cache for each region. | Enhancement |
430066@LAC365FO | Workspace | Providing a full list of all available reports as thumbnails from the Shared library will ensure customers can have a first impression of the look-a-like before the report is set up/installed (automatically) within their own environment. | Enhancement |
429492@LAC365FO | Performance | Test and Performance Suite: Lasernet Archive | Enhancement |
429432@LAC365FO | Import | Failure to deserialize LACReport should not stop the user from selecting other reports on import/copy. | Bug fix |
427077@LAC365FO | Review | Report Review before sending: Object reference error occurs when XML has no JobInfo. | Bug fix |
427078@LAC365FO | Test and Performance Suite | Background print/Top picking > Review > Number of Reports and Time per report are zero | Bug fix |
425584@LAC365FO | Preview | Report Preview | Enhancement |
430074@LAC365FO | Lasernet Form Editor | Lock image within the Lasernet Form Editor: When using Send to Back/Send Backward, the image should stay in the back when Lock is used for the Object. This would make it much easier to select an existing Rearrange when an image has been added, especially when an image is used as a picture and, therefore, fills the entire page. | Enhancement |
430067@LAC365FO | Cloud Print Connector | Admin permission is not needed to install Cloud Print Connector. | Enhancement |
441040@LAC365FO | Report | The Resend function has been enhanced. | Enhancement |
439304@LAC365FO | Test and Performance Suite | Test flow improvements. | Enhancement |

The class LACSrsPrintDestinationSettings_Extension is now named SrsPrintDestinationSettings_LAC_Extension.
If errors related to LACSrsPrintDestinationSettings_Extension occur, some objects or models may not be checked in. Another possible problem is that not all models have been built.
Ensure the following new objects/dll files are added to TFS in case you are not just installing/deploying the AOT package:
LACSupport.dll.config
XmlDiffPatch.dll
XmlDiffPath.View.dll
The following is the complete list of objects that are not automatically added.
The version number should contain the intended version (7.0) after either installing or deploying the AOT package.
Lasernet > Setup > Parameters
Essentials:
Professional (the complete Lasernet FO Connector, plus the embedded version of the Lasernet Form Editor):
Add the AOT package
Either through LCS - Apply a deployable package to an environment
Or by installing a deployable package – Requires RDP access to environment
Prerequisite / Technical
Ensure the Lasernet FO Connector configuration (including all reports) is exported in case a restore of the data is needed.
It is possible to perform an in-place upgrade from a previous version as long as the previous version is relatively recent, such as Lasernet FO Connector 6.18.x.
