Windward Studios has announced the public availability of Windward Reports 4.0. The new release introduces a suite of advanced report-presentation formats and a new version of AutoTag, Windward’s Microsoft Word add-in that greatly simplifies report design and data sourcing, the company says.
Windward Reports 4.0’s new presentation formats create reports that communicate more effectively by way of colorful charts and graphs, as well as dynamically generated tables of contents, newspaper columns, bookmarks, and indexes. Also, report templates can now be WordML in addition to .RTF.
Windward Studios says this program is "already in a class by itself with respect to ease of use," and notes that 4.0 AutoTag now features a select wizard and drag & drop functionality that combine to make report design so simple anyone in the office can do it, regardless of technical ability. The wizard facilitates selecting and inserting correct data tags. Drag & drop lets users click and drag tags as opposed to re-keying them. Report design is faster and less error-prone.
In summary, Version 4.0 adds the following significant features to Windward Reports:
Charts and graphs Tables of contents (that are built dynamically in final report) Indexes (built dynamically in final report) Bookmarks Newspaper-type columns Use of WordML templates “forEach” capability for handling multiple columns in a row New version of AutoTag: Select wizard Drag & drop Test reports generated in any format Toolbar at top Right Mouse Button menu has insert/edit/select tag Export/import of template data-source settings
