  1. 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…

  2. In OUT and SET tags, accept variables inside the format

    For the moment, Windward only accepts hardcoded format in the "Format" property of OUT tags.
    We have a concern because our documents (MS Word) are produced for a lot of countries and languages, making the formatting of the outputs quite a challenge. With hardcoded formats only, we are unable to change the format according to our needs.

    Hence allowing the "Format" property to use variables would solve — or at least alleviate — the issue, by allowing us to use a format that is not fixed in advance but could be changed in every document depending on data.

    For the…

  3. 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 :

  4. Auto-rotate included PDFs

    In our test summary report, when we generate the document, we need to include PDF files (pulling from our database) into the document occasionally.
    Ideally, I think the user should always save the PDF in the same orientation either vertical or horizontal. However, in reality, users do not always do things in the same way.

    As a result, when we generate the report with PDF included, the PDF cannot always be displayed in the test summary properly. The "horizontal" PDFs get cut off on the right side. If we had a way to auto-rotate the PDF, then we could assure…

  5. Support of Datamatrix barcode format

    We are currently using Datamatrix barcode format for our documents and it would be great if Windward could support this barcode format too.

  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…

  9. Add support for Excel tab colors in the Windward Core .NET Engine

    Currently, the Windward Core .NET Engine does not support Excel tab colors. If a user creates an Excel template that includes colored tabs in Windward Designer, the Windward .NET Engine will generate output files with no tab coloring. Please enhance the .NET engine so that tab colors are retained when generating output.

  11. Show customized datalabels in charts

    In PowerPoint charts it is possible to define a set of data label values (e.g. 71*) to be displayed instead of the value score label. In the attached file I have created an example containing both a value, a linebreak and a text.
    This could be very useful in many situations, e.g. to highlight important findings in data.

  12. XLSM support

    We have a client that we generate reports for who has a macro enabled spreadsheet they want us to re-produce.

    It's been a while and I wanted to check in. Does windward still not support XLSM or any macro-enabled spreadsheets? (We're using the .NET engine).

    We would like this available so our client can use macro-enabled spreadsheets.

  15. Order by collection with subitem

    It would be interesting to be able to sort a list of objects by the value of a property of a sub-object. The ideal would be to be able to do it with any depth.
    Example: sorting a car list by its number of cylinders
    [cars].[model].[engine].[number of cylinders]

  17. 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.

  18. Property or parameter for defining the decimal separator

    In earlier versions of Windward Reports the decimal separator expected in the data source was a point (".").
    The current Windward version (22) expects a decimal separator according to the given locale.
    In order to to avoid modifications in our customers' XML data sources we suggest a property (environment variable) defining the behavior regarding the decimal separator expectation:
    decimalSeparator=Point
    decimalSeparator=Comma
    decimalSeparator=Locale

    Thanks, Reiner
