Creator Output Guidance

We strongly advise that you discuss your requirements with the GoReport team before you commence using Creator. This will ensure you get the most out of the time you invest in building your own templates and that the end result meets your expectations.

Data Captures and Outputs

GoReports Creator Tool streamlines the process of creating custom data captures by providing a user-friendly platform for compiling references and data. The output for that data capture is designed, styled and formatted separately in a Word document by the user. Although GoReport does not support Word formatting and styling issues we can assess your sample output and advise if it is suitable for Creator before getting started. While GoReports creator tool streamlines the process of creating custom data captures, it's the user's proficiency with Word that ultimately shapes the quality of the final output.

Understanding the Limitations:

  1. Styling and Formatting Constraints: Due to styling and formatting constraints in Word users may encounter limitations in replicating complex designs or achieving precise layouts.

  2. Complex functionality: Certain functions such as calculations may require specialized, customized code for effective implementation. In some cases, these functionalities may not be achievable within the constraints of Word.
  3. Additional Publish Types: Multiple appendix options can only be achieved through a PDF build and therefore would not be suitable for Creator.

Please note that the GoReport excel export and aggregation functions work by default. This is particularly useful for data analytics or portfolio management using Macros excel or PowerBI options.

Remember, the GoReport support team are ready to support and advise on the most appropriate way to achieve your desired outputs. Please contact support before you begin to use Creator
