Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi,

I used to use SS version 2011.1.919. That version did have a preview button in the main menu below Save Report, Save As, Delete Page optons.
However we recently upgraded to 2014.3 and I don't see the preview option under any menu
(Please note I am not talking about the preview tab)
Is this no longer available with 2014.3?

Regards

Hello.

Please try to remove the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Stimulsoft folder.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

I did remove the folder but it did not seem to have helped...
I have attached a document with screen prints for you to have a look.
Please help.

Thanks

Hello.

We have removed this item from the Office 2013 theme.
You could use Preview tab or F5 keyboard shortcut for preview.

Thank you.

Thanks Aleksey.
I am bit disapointed to hear that.
I definitely don't want to use the preview tab, always find it not very flexible to work with.
F5 is something I can use but I find that there is an issue with it too.
If I am anywhere on the actual page, pressing F5 does bring up the preview. However if my current focus is on a data source, a variable etc.. F5 won't work.
Please note that this used to work with previous version- we were using(2011.1.919)

Hello.

What is wrong with preview tab?
You could use Office 2010 theme.

Thank you.

If I use preview, I can look at the output and design at the same time, but not if I use preview tab.

But more to the point should be why would you want to remove important features when you are upgrading?

and the issue with F5 is a bug according to me..

and what did you mean by "You could use Office 2010 theme."? What can I use it for?

Thanks

Hello.

We will return the Preview item in File menu.
Please, check our next prerelease build.

Thank you.

Thanks Aleksey.

This is an important feature which maintains our high efficiency in developing reports. Therefore it would be great if you can release this fix soon.

Hello

This feature will be available in our next prerelease build on January 23.

Thank you.
