Windward Studios is proud to announce the release of the new Javelin reporting portal.
Javelin is an online, out-of-the-box platform for running, managing and scheduling reports. It provides the necessary infrastructure for easily setting up your reporting processes.
Windward’s report and scheduling server allows for access and control from any application, regardless of programming language. Scheduled reports can be run at any time and you can email the report as an attachment, save the report to your server, or save it in the Javelin platform itself.
Within the Javelin Report Portal, you can easily see all the information on users, templates, POD files, scheduled report runs and previously scheduled reports. Simply log in to Javelin, upload the templates that you’ve built with Windward’s AutoTag template designer, and you’re off and running!
Here’s some of what you’ll get with Javelin.
Organizations can easily assign roles with specific permissions and functionality to individual employees. This functionality ensures that reports can be accessed by as many end users as desired while limiting access where necessary. User Roles also ensure that the user experience for each individual is optimized, since all of the features that do not apply to a specific role are hidden. This results in a cleaner user interface.
Uploading templates can be done in bulk or individually. This speeds up the process of running reports by centralizing where templates are located.
Javelin supports all of the basic scheduling functionality and ships with an ability to use Cron settings (which gives the administrator the option to configure custom scheduling settings beyond the typical ones included). Users can also configure email options inside the scheduler to send scheduled reports via email upon running the reports.
Running reports can also be done on an ad hoc basis. Users can run ad hoc reports one by one or select multiple templates and run them simultaneously. Users are not bound to a single output type when running multiple reports but can choose a desired output format for each individual report as well as input any specific variables. It is also easy to download reports immediately after they are run from the window or select any number of them to download later.
Javelin is perfect for organizations that need an interface for managing, running and scheduling reports.

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.
