Report design documents

Update report design documents (.4rp) to the current version by using the gsreport command line utility. For further information, see Update report design documents to the current version.

Report Writer drag-and-drop behavior

Prior to Genero Studio 4.00.03, it was not possible to drag and drop a report element from one parent to another parent in the main work area. If the element was moved within the parent, the element's alignment might change (for example, dragging an element downward might change the Alignment property from near to far).

From Genero Studio 4.00.03 onward, elements can be moved from one parent to another by drag and drop, and dropping the element in another location does not change its alignment.

Changes in earlier versions

Make sure to check the upgrade notes of earlier versions, to not miss changes introduced in maintenance releases. For more details, see GRW 3.20 upgrade guide.
