Breaking changes from v6.x

  • We plan to deprecate Public Reports in upcoming releases.

  • We strongly recommend using one of our iFrame options to embed reports in Bold Reports Server.

  • Initially, we removed the Make Public option in the Report Server.

  • However, you still have the option to convert existing public reports to private. Then disable the Mark reports as public option on the settings page. Set Private Alert message

  • For special cases, if you still need the option to mark reports as public, go to Settings -> Configuration -> reporting/config.xml, set EnablePublic node to true, and then save the changes.
    <EnablePublic>true</EnablePublic>.

    Config File Server App Config

  • Now you can find the option in the context menu to change the reports to public. Make Public Option

Note: It’s not recommended to make the reports public, as they will soon be deprecated in upcoming releases.
