Function Overview

Generate data sheets at the touch of a button

With the data sheet configurator, templates for data sheets or technical documentation can be flexibly configured and automatically generated as a Word document including a table of contents. A document template with sections is defined for configuration. Each section can contain different content such as a heading or product-related data or images.

To create a data sheet, the user selects a product and the predefined categories. The desired data sheet is then created in Microsoft DOCX format with a click of the mouse. Formatting is done automatically using paragraph and character formats from a Word template. The use of page and table layouts also enables sophisticated layout variants.

The content can be subsequently customized.

Automatic updating of PowerPoint slides

Images and text can be replaced on slides fully automatically. To do this, the presentation is placed in a hotfolder and the updated presentation is ready after a short time.

Search, select, insert

The search options in the crossbase database include an optimized search index, at least one navigation tree and a full-text, category and keyword search. The search index includes the content of product texts, image captions, etc. Product information is clearly displayed for selected products in the hit list.

Images and texts can be inserted into Word, PowerPoint or InDesign in the language-specific quality required by the media. Product features, accessories and spare parts are displayed in tabular form. Media files can be downloaded or sent by e-mail as a ZIP archive.
