#328683 – Fixed attachments support

Now you can add multiple fixed attachments to a report and control each attachment by Language code. For example, it could be Terms & Conditions in different languages or marketing campaigns, etc.

This is useful when users only want to see customers with a balance or entries.

#337372 – When Posting and Printing from Warehouse Shipment, all existing Sales Shipments are printed

This is now corrected so we only print the selected shipments from the Warehouse Shipment.

#342796 – Specifying request page filter longer than 20 characters leads to an inability to run a report

If you type in more than 20 characters within the filter on the Customer Statement Request page, it will show an error like this:

This is now fixed.

We have added the currency symbol into a new tag in the XML file e.g. £.

Within Lasernet Printers, it was possible to create a new record with an empty value. We have now prevented this.

#345590 – Empty Placeholder Entry Name causes error during attempt to email using Template

Adding an empty record within Lasernet Placeholder caused an error when emailing:

Error:

String cannot be of zero length.

Parameter name: oldValue.

This is now fixed.

#347674 – Email template Subject default value

In certain conditions, an Email template from another language was used if the required language wasn’t found. This is now fixed.

#347676 – Support unicode characters in email template

When using Ukrainian, Japanese, or Greek emoji or any other Unicode characters in the mail body and subject field, the characters changed after reopening the Email Template page for modification along with the wrong XML file.

Error:

#348005 – Additional hooks in the reports for better flexibility (for Developers)

Several new hooks have been added. This can be used to add a dropdown list on the Lasernet Request page along with the selected value to the report / XML file that is going to the Lasernet server.

#348731 – Changes to Lasernet Export/Import Attachments setup

We have improved our export/import framework, so it includes the new function ‘Fixed Attachments’.

#337912 – Report Selections Export / Import correction

Upon importing Report Selections, sometimes users receive the error

Report XXX uses the RDLC (built-in) which cannot be used as an email body.

This is due to a missing value for the field Email Body Layout Code, so it remains empty upon import.

This is now fixed.
