All Windward Products
| What Changed? | Description |
|---|---|
| Time Zones Conversion |
A new Windward macro has been added to help with converting dates and times from UTC time to the local time zone. Use TOLOCALTIME() to convert to your computer time zone. (From a customer new feature request.) |
| ‘Shrink to Fit’ in Excel |
The ‘Shrink to Fit’ cell property is now output to XLSX output. This will shrink the contents of a cell until it fits the defined cell size. (From a customer new feature request.) |
Report Designer for Office Edition
| What Changed? | Description |
|---|---|
| Reorganized Ribbon |
The ribbon menus have been reorganized and consolidated to improve the Report Template design workflow. |
| Boolean Conditional Wizard |
The new Boolean Conditional Wizard helps you create complex conditional statements. Before, conditional statements could only be written manually. Now they can also be built using our intuitive Wizard interface. |
| Data Bin Search |
The Data Bin can now be searched to find a table, column, node or other piece of data without having to scroll through all of it. (From a customer new feature request.) |
| Stored Procedure Wizard |
The new Stored Procedure Wizard helps you create a query for a stored procedure. This works for all Tag types that are connected to a SQL-based data source (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2 or ODBC). |
.NET Report Engine and Java Report Engine
| What Changed? | Description |
|---|---|
| New Output Format |
PostScript has been added as an output format. This format is commonly used with printers and printing companies. (From a customer new feature request.) |
Report Designer for Office Edition, .NET Report Engine and Java Report Engine
| What Changed? | Description |
|---|---|
| New and Improved Datasets |
Datasets have been rewritten from scratch to be more powerful and easier to use. Unlike our previous Datasets (which required being saved in a POD file to utilize in the Report Engines), new Datasets can be used like all other Datasources. This makes Datasets easier to manage and deploy in an application. |
