Chart with multi-level axis
Hi Windward team!
Multi-level axis is a standard excel feature but it is not currently supported by Windward.
It would be very useful so that - for instance - we can group locations by priority, or by area.
See attached screenshot.
Our priority would be to get it in Word templates.

Support Hidden styles in templates
If a Document Template has hidden styles defined, then the generated document (.docx) file should generate the document with those styles hidden.
One of our clients that generates their documents from our system using Windward, has very clearly defined corporate styles and an expectations that all of their staff will only use those styles in Word Documents to ensure that they are providing a united, consistent front for their customers.
The templates have styles defined based on their corporate style guide. When a document is generated, the hidden styles are displayed again, which means that our customer has stopped using…

Different PDF converter/convert through Word
We are having a lot differences between the Word output and that generated by Windward PDF. Spacing can be different and sometimes the PDF does things wrong that Word does correctly, such as text going through a footer or the PDF not breaking the page correctly when using Keep with Next. It seems to me a lot of defelopment time goes into trying to make the PDF output better.
In literally every instant, the PDF from Word's Export feature worked correctly. Also, the output is half the file size, which is also very important for us.
A lot of our…4 votesHello Reporter,
Perhaps you can benefit from Windward’s “Use Office for PDF Output” functionality, this sounds like the functionality you described. Please see this Ohana article on how you can setup the Windward Engine to use Microsoft Office’s native PDF export functionality for PDF output: https://ohana.windwardstudios.com/m/76878/l/1178439-how-do-i-use-microsoft-office-to-generate-pdf-output-in-report-designer
Please let me know if this solution works for you, or expand on your request if I misunderstood it. Thank you.

Use an OUT tag in a graph title
I want to produce a series of graph for different equipment types, and put the equipment type in each graph title.
There is a work around (put the graph title outside of the graph) which is ok for any advanced user. However, our plan is to give access to Windward Designer to a large crowd of users from our clients. These users will have limited support and training, i.e. each work around becomes a barrier. The expectation is that you should be able to put an OUT tag in the title4 votes -
Support Mirosoft Word DOCM file format and Macros
We have many Microsoft Word template with Microsoft Word Macros in them (Word > Developer > Macros).
The templates are saved in DOCM file format.
Currently, Windward Report Designer supports using the DOCM templates with Windward Report Designer, to create outputs successfully and to save the output in DOCM file format, but the macros are not available in the output.
Windward Report Designer shall support Microsoft Word DOCM file format and Macros, so that the Macros can be run after output generation.4 votes -
Better ways to format X-axis in a Word chart
In a Word chart I can't format the X-axis easily. More formatting options would be nice to have.
For example, sometimes our data starts from 10 and then it increases by a factor of 10, so 10, 20, 30 and so on. In the screenshot that I attached you can see in black the way WindWard displays the X-axis and in red the way I would like to display it.
Also, there's no way to automatically change the gap between labels so that they would always be separated nicely, no matter how long or short the data on the X-axis…

Scatter chart - same size for markers in plot area and in the legend
Hello,
Right now when working with a scatter chart in Word if you have different sizes for the markers they will be shown as different sizes on the plotted area, but in the legend the marker sizes are the same size.
In the attached picture 1 and 2 have different sizes on the plotted area and in the legend they are the same size but smaller. Right now only marker sizes 3 and 4 behave normally (the marker size is the same on the plot and in the legend).
I was told that this is a known limitaion.
Can you…

Page Break advanced property
Develop a Page Break advanced property for the ForEach tag that does not start with the first iteration but rather with the second iteration so that if the ForEach tag is at the beginning of the document template, a blank page does not render for that first iteration.
