As per Request #12304, only AutoTag is able to skim the variable paths from the document template. Java Engine does not have a method/functionality to retrieve all the variable paths ('Data/books/authorName'). WIll you be able to cater this request in the Java Engine? Thanks!

When generating a WordML report from a WordML template, we'd like to restrict the editing of the generated report.

We'd like to set up document protection in the template and have those settings carry over into the report.

Alot of potential customers ask if they can run a template multiple times using the result of a select to plug in parameters into a template. One example is mail merge. Currently the only way to accomplish this is in the engine, but alot of people that do not have development teams or no programming experience will not want to do this. This should be integrated into autotag, maybe call it autotag ultra? or it could be a seperate add-on to autotag.

The idea is so that you can 'manually' tell windward when you are in a loop on on a powerpoint slide to 'jump to'/start another slide - kinda like a dynamic powerpoint equivalent of word's next page break

This would compare two reports to see if there are any differences in appearance.

Would be useful to those you frequently upgrade the engine and need to make sure that generated reports (that were working fine before the upgrade) still appear as expected.

Add the possibility in Excel to tell AutoTag not to process a spreadsheet when generating a report as an Excel file.

It would be useful to create a PivotTable in a spreadsheet in the template file and then have it in the generated Excel report.

When a tag's variable is renamed (the var attribute) automatically rename all references to that variable in other tags, if any.

We presently support design in Word, Excel, & PowerPoint. Extend this to support Visio for design and output.

All the AutoTag dialogs (options, tag-editor, SQL wizard) have tool-tips which are very useful during the learning process.

However some of the longer tips are simply not displayed for long enough - you keep having to mouse-off; mouse-on and then find where you got to last time.

I have Excel spreadsheets with multiple named tabs, and named locations on individual tabs. It would be nice if the rendered AutoTag output still included these tab and location names, and the equations that used them still functioned after rendering in XLSX format.

I often end up with looong tag "phrases", usually if / then sorts. This ends up making my template cosmetically unwieldy to work with (table rows stretching across multiple pages in the template that produce .25" output in the report, etc.) It would be immensely useful from a template design perspective if I could collapse these phrases or somehow "icon-ify" them. I'm thinking something like the POD functionality but instead of getting the raw tags displayed when dragging and dropping into the document, it simply inserts an icon to represent the phrase

We have many forms that have check-boxes on the template. The user can check or uncheck these boxes. But Windward currently doesn't support checkboxes. When outputting to PDF, the checkboxes are gone.

I suggest adding checkbox support to Windward. The feature should include output to DOCX, PDF and other formats. In addition, the Out tag should be able to set the state of the checkboxes based on data.

Thanks

It would be useful for the forEach loop tag to have some sort of break option. That way I can loop through my values and when I find what I need I can break out and not continue the loop.

For now, as a workaround we can set some sort of flag variable and if we hit the "break" condition set it and then if it's set just avoid doing anything in the loop, but that's kind of crude...

Based on (content in column) or (value of SQL resultset)
resize the width of column and resize the height of row.

Example: Say SQL result set give employee.Name as
"WINDWARD-AUTOTAG" So Column 'A' should resize 17 pixels and

If result set give employee.Name as
"W.W.A.T." So Column 'A' should resize 8 pixels.

I have requested same in request (#12875)

In out tag width/height does not take xpath - i think that male system less flexible

Currently to compare a field against another field, you have ti enter the second field as a string in the value field.
Then manually remove the '&pos' from either side of the field.
It would be useful to avoid typo and editing to have another condition to enable you to pick a second field from the XPATH in place of the hard code value. We use this to print conditional sections which are based on two fields.
