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.56 votes -

Add use of error bars (SD and SEM) for charts/graphs.
While Windward templates allow for graphs/charts to be used, it does not have the capability to use/show error bars. This is a standard functionality for excel/word office products and the ability to do so with Windward sourced graphs/charts is important to the user community.

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
28 votesHello Reporter,
This idea has been partially accepted. We have accepted to enable users to open the Condition Wizard from inside the Conditional Formatting Rule Manager. As for the color picker, I have entered a story in our backlog, but we will wait to see interest in this specifically before reviewing the idea again. I entered this new ticket for the color picker, please leave a vote on it if you are still interested: http://ideas.windwardstudios.com/forums/248503-windward-beta-program/suggestions/39340099-add-color-picker-to-conditional-formatting-rule-ma
Thank you for your suggestion, and please submit any other ideas you have to improve the product.

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…

Chart with multi-level axis
Hi Windward team!
Multi-level axis is a standard excel feature but it is not currently supported by Windward.
It would be very useful so that - for instance - we can group locations by priority, or by area.
See attached screenshot.
Our priority would be to get it in Word templates.

Just been working for a couple of hours now, but I found error handling to be poor. Exceptions are thrown with no clear error messages. Documentation is missing (TagException seems bo no exist according to the knowledge base).

Allow Data Validation to propagate to the new document.
Data Validation constrains the values of a cell to items in a predetermined range. This would allow selection lists to be populated by AutoTag select statements.

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!

referencing other worksheets in formulas in generated Excel reports
When you write a formula in a template that references another cell on the same sheet, it increments the row number on each new row that is added by a foreach loop.
It would be great if this worked the same way for formulas referencing other worksheets.18 votesHello reporter,

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…

Include Rich Text Control in PDF output
We want to generate PDF forms, so we are using different Word form controls. We found that plain text control is exported into the PDF output as a PDF field, however it has some limitations with text length and wrapping. We are very interested on using rich text controls, since they allow better formatting, longer and wrapped text and inserting tags inside the control to pre-fill the PDF form field.
