By automating the entire reporting process in your organization, you cut down on the amount of time spent on the task and create more time to focus on other tasks like analyzing reports. With less manual input, you can eliminate human error in this process and ensure that reports sent to customers are customized and adhere to specific standards all the time.Data can be collected from various data sources and compiled to generate a report automatically whenever needed.
With an intuitive interface, generating reports is made simple. A lot of repetitive tasks like document formatting and back and forth exchange of emails for approval of documents is not necessary. With an automated reporting system, you will save as much as 85 percent of productive hours that would usually be spent on work that the software can do. This process becomes a lot faster and translates to a better return on investment. A report creation wizard guides the user through the process of error-free report generation. It will even incorporate graphs, tables, and charts as well as carry out calculations, eliminating the risk of human error in the process.
The drag and drop action is just one of many efficient features in Windward that will help you save time when generating reports. It also allows a user to choose between automatic or manual data refresh at specified intervals. The distribution process can also be automated so that once the report is generated it is immediately emailed to all stakeholders.This process can be completed in a matter of minutes and that saves valuable time for an organization to concentrate on growing the business.
Is the data stored on various servers and computers? No problem—you can have a report generated with a single click and the software will combine data from multiple sources to create a comprehensive report.
Without leaving their desk, a user can generate a customized report and avoid repetitive tasks. The interface allows for scheduling report generation and distribution of these reports to the concerned parties.
However complex your organization processes, Windward will seamlessly generate reports from the different processes and combine them into one report. There is no need for human participation in the summarizing,formatting, and emailing of the reports. Simply schedule and automation will do the rest.
Business managers need to keep their eyes on every aspect of the business.
With an automated report generator, you can monitor all the processes: production, sales, customer care, HR and all the other departments.
With scheduled automated reports, decision makers in a business can keep track of performance and spot problems early enough to make adjustments. It does not matter how big an organization may be, the software can summarize all the reports to provide a regular single report on the different aspects of a business so you can have a one-stop report for all the processes.
The user is free to determine the type of report they generate.

The Generate Code tool in the designer allows you to open an existing template and, with a click of a button, automatically create a window with the code needed to run your current template with all data sources and variables. Simply copy this code and paste into your application's code in the appropriate place. You now have Windward integrated into your application.
You only need to do this once. You do not do this for each template. Instead, where it has explicit files for the template and output, change that to parameters you pass to this code. Same for the parameters passed to Windward. This example uses explicit values to show you what to substitute in where.
Any pivot tables in an XLSX template are carried over to the XLSX output. The ranges in the pivot ranges are adjusted to match the generated output. So your final XLSX will have pivot tables set as expected in the generated file.
This makes creating an XLSX workbook with pivot tables trivial.
In an imported sub-template, if its properties for a style (ex. Normal) differ from the parent template's properties for the style, the use in the sub-template can be set to either use the properties in the sub-template, or the properties in the parent.
You set to retain when you don't want the child template's styling to change when imported. You set to use the parent when you want the styling of the imported template to match the styling in the parent.
Any explicit styling is always retained. This only impacts styling set by styles.
Tags can be placed in text boxes. Including linked text boxes. This gives you the ability to set the text in a textbox from your data.
Tags can be placed in shapes & smart art. This gives you the ability to set the text in a shape from your data.
When generating HTML output, the engine can either write bitmaps as distinct files the generate HTML references, or it can embed the images in the HTML providing a single file for the output.
You can place tags in pretty much any part of a template, including in footnotes & endnotes.
Any parts of a DOCX or XLSX (PowerPoint does not support this) file that are locked in the template, will be locked the same in the output.
If a font used in the template does not exist on the server generating a report, the font to substitute can be specified.
In addition, if a glyph to be rendered does not exist in the font specified, you can specify the replacement font. This can be set distinctly for European, Bi-Directional, and Far East fonts.
If you need this - it's essential. And if you don't need it, it's irrelevant.
Windward enables you to build a document by applying multiple datasources to the template simultaneously. When Windward is merging the data into a template, it processes the template by handling each tag in order, and each tag pulls from different datasources. (As opposed to processing all of one datasource, then processing the next.)
This allows the select tag to use data from another datasource in its select. For example, if you are pulling customer information from one data source, you can then pull data from the sales datasource using the customer ID of the customer presently processing to pull the sales information for that customer. If you're interested in patching together your data from multiple datasources, read this post on our blog.
