Complex tables that run over several pages, corresponding to comment texts, and have to be synchronized with additional charts: existing reporting tools usually have problems dealing with these kinds of requirements. DocScape masters the complex rules of page breaks and page navigation, making it ideal for generating charts. 

Whether in the private or public sector: budgets and economic plans require an analysis of extensive data. The spending of funds has to be justified and supported in detail by additional figures.

For the publication of an economic plan, an extensive document is generated from all data and comment texts, the design of which must comply with the company’s or authority’s design guidelines. If the document is generated by an external agency or printer, its final format will not be finalized before the planning process is completed, followed by an extensive coordination phase, during which the presentation of all comments, contributed by a number of different authors, must be checked and adapted to the design guidelines. The document will not be available for budget meetings, and badly formatted data print-outs will make it difficult to check planning data and comment texts.

This is where a 100% automated printing system can help, producing from an up-to-the-minute dataset a printable planning document which complies with all design guidelines. The author of a comment is in a position to check it in its final presentation context, and all topical data will be available in a clear, correctly formatted layout for budget meetings. This facilitates the adjustment procedure, helping to avoid mistakes during the publication process.

Traditional reporting tools generate schematic, occasionally confusing and inflexible layouts and are not capable of complying 100% automatically with all design and page break guidelines.
