  1. Charts - Define the value of the error-amount with a query/tag on an error-bar

    Making the fixed value on an error-bar a dynamic setting would give many opportunities for additional chart visualizations.

    So, define the value of the error-amount on an error-bar with a query/tag in Fluent.

    In the current situation the bar-chart and scatter-plot are supported by Fluent. Also the combination of the two. The error-bar is only supported with a fixed value (see screenprint).

    It is built in the following way:
    • The basis is a bar-chart.
    • The dot is a scatter-plot.
    • The line is an error-bar on top of the bar-chart.

  3. In TEXT function, accept locale settings for the format, or at least let us specify decimal/thousands separators

    For the moment, the only ways to define a locale for formatting numbers (esp. decimal and thousand separators) is by using the general option (hence fixed) or an OUT tag (hardcoded).

    Our concern is that we produce documents in 25+ languages, for potentially 35+ countries, leading to a huge number of combinations. Having only fixed/hardcoded formats is therefore a problem.
    Also, we use a lot of variables to manipulate our data.

    Consequently, having a good TEXT function would be of great help to us. The possibility to specify a locale (language+country), or at least a language, in the format of…

  4. Add format to SET tag

    Similarly to OUT tags, I would like to see a "Format" property in SET tags, so that we can cast numbers to text variables with a proper format.
    This is needed, among other reasons, because the "Format" property of OUT tags is more powerful (has more features) than the functions provided by Windward (esp. the TEXT function). Notably, the Format of OUT tags allows the use of a locale to define the format (decimal and grouping separators), which the TEXT function does not accept.

    This idea is similar to :

  5. Support of Datamatrix barcode format

  6. Support for Office document properties

    This feature request is about Microsoft Office properties as described on this link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-or-change-the-properties-for-an-office-file-21d604c2-481e-4379-8e54-1dd4622c6b75

    Actually we would need 2 things.

    First, we would like to insert (static) properties in our Microsoft Word templates (docx or docm), and when we generate a new document, we would like this new document to keep these properties. Today it is not the case (I've checked).

    Second, we would like the possibility to provide dynamic values for these properties, these values coming from our json datasource. Maybe this one is a bit more complex, but for example I would see the possibility to have…

  10. Faster opening Windward templates (data source timeout)

    We often use XML data sources hosted by a local development server. When this server is not available (not started or not a developer machine), WindWard Designer takes an big amount of time to figurfe out the resource is not available. As a result, a document takes about 2 minutes per data source to open. Our documents often have 2 data sources making it 4 minutes, etc.

    See video:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/q52y77v6yeh6eyk/4MinutesToOpenWindwardTemplate.mp4?dl=0

    The attached document is the one used in the video, but it occurs with any document of which the datasource points to localhost while the server is not running.

  11. Configure tags to accept xml inputs with different root elements

    Is it possible to configure Windward Designer tags to accept xml inputs with different root elements? For example, the sample template would produce valid output if the root element was "John" or "John_202205". In other languages, you do not always need to specify the root element. For example, you can use // to “ Selects nodes in the document from the current node that match the selection no matter where they are.”

  12. Let's make the Invalid PDF error message cleaner and easier to read

    We have encountered situations where the software is attempting to Import a PDF which is invalid. This of course fails. The issue I have is with the error message, which at least now says "Invalid PDF", which accurately describes the problem.

    AutoTag version: 22.1.0.85
    Exception: Error: Invalid PDF attempted to be imported! Details: Index: 613, Size: 613

    I think it would be much nicer to fix this so it does not appear that the program blew up, with a long stack traceback. This issue should produce a cleaner error output that omits the stack trace. In this case you have…

  15. Ability to view number of pages rendered by environment

    A way to identify the number of pages are executed per environment to determine if we are nearing to allowed license and get alerts to make a decision on increasing the Max Allow usage/Over usage without any disruption to client functionality. Additionally this feature helps in identifying if there is any unwarranted executions happening on a specific environment.

  16. Escape key to exit the Edit Tag window

    Minor improvement - agree - but can be frustrating as it is part of basic standard usability.

  18. Table of Contents /t field code not performing as expected - Feature

    /t seems to be broken when it is used in Table of Contents. When generating a doc output, the TOC ignores the /t and includes all of the headings/styles in the document. Updating the TOC in the output fixes it, which means something is occurring in the generation of the output.

    In addition, when multiple unique TOC's are in a document, all of the TOC's will break if only ONE TOC has the /t field.

    Deleting /t and only using /o is the current mediocre workaround. But it would be great if /t could work so we could use our…

  20. Improve Import tag handling of bad/missing data

    Currently, if the Import tag is passed bad data (e.g. an image file doesn't exist or is an unsupported format), the only apparent way to prevent the report from breaking altogether is to set a default image. But what if we don't want a default image and just want the tag to be ignored if it doesn't like the data? Or what if the default image to be shown is also data-dependent?

    I suggest two improvements:

    1. That instead of displaying a default image, the tag could optionally be ignored altogether. In many cases, it would be preferable to have no…
