This is often useful for customers who want to add their own information or work with a chart to generate other charts or information. If you need some help creating charts, the software includes a very easy to understand and useful help function. DataStar WebCharts is a unique and very helpful tool to prepare online search results for top management. Charts are particularly helpful when your search results in dozens or hundreds of records. Then the chart is a compact presentation of the retrieved information.
Charts save a lot of time in post-processing search results.
Nevertheless, there are some points that I would like to see in a future release of DataStar WebCharts to enhance this useful software. Helpful though it is, it is not a 32-bit version, so you have to give the file an eight digit acronym when storing your charts. Today's standard is to give long file titles, which makes retrieval much easier when you have made several charts in one online session. You can export charts as HTML files to Word but the table layout will be lost. Additionally, the .csv-files that can be read by Excel cannot be imported into Word without losing the layout.
