Is it possible to show a DevExpress report preview as a screen component like the file preview in the Windows GUI?
Our intention is to show for a list of records a preview of the related report, to verify if the data is ok, to reduce the user input for click on a report button and each time a popup is coming.

It’s not possible to preview the report without generating it first. You could preview a pdf. There are 2 ways you could go to achieve this:
1. Make a system flow that generates a pdf file for each record and show that in the preview element. You might also want to implement a clean up job to remove old Pdf files no longer relevant.
2. Make a task that generates the report and shows the preview for a single row.
