Looking for a Telerik Reporting Specialist for a short term contract (maybe 2 months). Will work remotely. Can be after hours for the most part but will require some work during business hours (few hours a week). This is a 40 hour a week position. They have an application that is going into the system with a lot of reports which need to be built behind it but they want to be able to do it themselves going forward. So the consultant would put together the examples with reporting in.net core to embed the Telerik reports within an MVC or some other hosting component which is .net based. They would need to be able to create the reports, walk through them and demonstrate how to do it. Basically will train the dvelopers so they can do it moving forward. Some business analysis and training would need to be done during business hours (2 -3 hours a week. Should have at least 3 - 4 years of experience and be able to work with the more complex features. Must be able to implement the reports and train/teach others.
Additional Info: We are not using a Telerik report server. That process allows for standalone Telerik report definitions to be hosted and presented through a browser interface to run the reports. According to Telerik, that is not the current recommend approach for hosting the Telerik reports, and it is not needed to build them a GUI interface exists to build the report defs that are then embedded. Telerik recommends embedding the report engine in an application and calling the report from the application.
We have NOT implemented an example of such a HOST program.
We do NOT intend to use the Telerik report server either, part of the reason is we most likely will need the hosting application to support user interactive operations to select and provide data through the Hosting WEB application. The GUI will write to the database and the report will retrieve the GUI info from the data base. Parameters could be used, but they don’t support without significant Advanced feature parameter customization a Graphical control based UI look and feel, nor text style input, or value defaulting including NULL user entered input and in many cases they need to be cascaded, i.e. One parameter’s selected value is used to define/constrain the next.
A web application provides for much more versatile user-friendly UI development. Telerik reports has changed a lot over the last two years.
Hi Shelby, Just IMHO, I would recommend your client go with Active Reports instead of Telerik Reporting. The only reason we created reports in Telerik at the time was because the reporting tool was included in the Telerik UI bundle.
We also made the mistake by going with the Telerik Data Access Layer tool for which Telerik later discontinued, ugh...
If I were your client, I would not feel comfortable investing too much into Telerik Reporting, however Telerik UI tools are pretty awesome.
Again, just my opinion.
Thanks, Craig
