Since the release of ChatGPT, the world of artificial intelligence (AI) has changed rapidly. You’ve probably already had experience with tools like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot that take developer workflows to a new level. At combit, we’re also open to the possibilities that AI offers, and are continuously integrating them into our own processes.
At combit, we prioritize accessibility in our software solutions. Understanding the importance of Section 508 compliance, we have developed a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) for List & Label to help you meet these requirements.
Back in March, we conducted our annual customer survey to gain deeper insight into the satisfaction and needs of our developer community. The results were extremely pleasing and revealing towards our aim to continuously develop List & Label and our services. Of course, we’d like to share them with you.
Crosstabs are a very popular object within the List & Label Designer, that’s why we’re continuously adding enhancements to this important features. So far though, despite all added extensions, crosstabs have ultimately been a simple grouping in two dimensions. From version 29 on, they’ll become more dimensional.
The latest service pack 28.004 for List & Label and the Report Server brings a new chart type in the Web Report Designer and Windows 11 23H2 support. Experience improved user interfaces alongside significant performance upgrades especially for horizontal gauges. For a detailed list of all changes, see the ServicePack.pdf in your installation or in the service pack download section.
Further improving our export formats is one of the focus areas for List & Label 28. Introducing fixed headers for the XHTML export fits nicely into this strategy. This feature, also known as frozen headers, has been requested by some of your peers.
Report parameters have gained great popularity since their introduction. They offer a flexible and easy way to create dynamic reports. In particular, the ability to create data-bound parameters has been well received. However, in combination with larger databases, there were some limitations that we finally eliminated now in version 28.
This is another often overlooked feature – you can add scripts to your projects and use your favorite language to do so. Since a couple of versions already, List & Label supports C# Scripts. However, the performance was less than perfect, making it a good choice for complex calculations but not so much for using it on a line-to-line base. In List & Label 26, we were able to push the performance quite remarkably – now using scripts is perfectly feasible.
This has been another community suggestion from our Idea Place. Until version 26, you could only have one copy count for labels. This means that the same number of copies were printed for each and every label. In version 26 you can now adjust this individually, based on the data in your data source.
List & Label 26 is gearing towards RTM. We've been blogging about the progress and upcoming new features for some time now. This time, however, I'd like to share some insights into what happens as we shift near RTM.
