1. Ability to output equations in WindWard

   In the latest version of WindWard it's not possible to output Microsoft Equations, in the output .DOCX file the places where the equations should've been are left empty.

   Ideally, the equations are shown in the generated output.

3. Allow entering Array-type Input Parameters

   It would be great if we could add an array-type variable of either String or Number type as an input variable. This could be used to filter datasources with a IN statement, for example.

5. PDF/A-3 support

   Dear Windward team,

   the Java engine already has the ability to render PDF/A-1b compliant files. Would it be possible to extend it to other PDF/A conformance levels, mainly PDF/A-3?

   Thank you very much!

7. 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 own custom styles

8. 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 issues would be solved if we could just have Windward generate through Word's Export to PDF feature. Or perhaps another commercial PDF converter.

   Hello 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.

12. Converting text to a number before sorting

    Currently the only way to cast a value to an integer is through an out tag. If we have a text field that is a number we would like to convert it to numeric in the for each loop and then sort it numerically. For example if we have 01, 2, 3, 4, 05, 06 the current sort order comes out as 01, 05, 06, 2, 3, 4. We would need to convert these values to a number in the for each loop using NUMBERVALUE or CAST and then sort on these values. Currently we are only able to convert these to numeric in the out tag after they have been sorted incorrectly.

13. 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 image at all rather than a default placeholder. Particularly if we are generating a report with numerous full-page images that all happen to have bad data (e.g., if the image directory changed and no one updated the relevant data), we don't want page after page of the same default image.

    2. That the default image could be data-driven. Our current solution for displaying product images in a report takes the image names from a field in the product table and concatenates them with a base URL from another field in another table. The reason for this is that if the customer moves their images to a different server, directory or whatever, they can change the base URL in one place and not have to update hundreds/thousands of records for individual images were the full URL hard-coded in the product data. While a single default image is far better than a broken report, it requires (a) that the customer actually has and wants a default image and (b) that the template would have to be updated if the default image gets moved or changed (instead of just updating a data field or two outside of the template). Changing a data field value carries a lot less risk than modifying a template.

    Thanks for considering the idea.

18. Allow for dynamic drop down based on amount of returned rows

    Currently, when a drop down is created in a cell (static or dynamic) the drop down is removed when the report is generated.

    Either add a Windward drop down function (ideal), or support Excel generated drop downs.

    Another helpful addition to this would be to make the drop down options distinct (optional, chosen by user).

20. Make Conditional Formatting Rule Manager more user friendly.

    Dear Windward,

    Is it possible to make the option to define a condition on a tag more user friendly.

    A way to create a condition with a Condition Wizard (that let you select and compare nodes/variables/..) would be very helpfull.

    To select a color in the Format wizard, a color picker would also be very helpfull instead of entering hex values manually.

    Kind Regards Jochen
