The Magic of the AutoTag Report Design Tool
The Magic of AutoTag, whether used as an add-in for Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint, is that it makes data layout and source mapping trivial, so that even non-programmers can design their own reports.
First, AutoTag easily integrates as a pull-down menu item in Word, Excel or PowerPoint, and automates data-source mapping, the database connection and tag editing. Non-programmers—finance executives, business users, even marketers—and programmers alike will benefit from its easy instant tag creation and validation.
