COB.RA uses a simple but powerful system for the preparation of reports.

  1. You design templates for your reports (your logo and layout etc.) freely in Microsoft Word
  2. You use COB.RA placeholders to include your data in the templates you have designed.
  3. If the default placeholders doe not meet your needs, you can use advanced techniques to filter the data, use loops, or transform and combine different elements.

All data you enter and all results generated by COB.RA can be exported with placeholders to Microsoft Word. A trivial example with a front page is shown in the screenshot below:

You can see that placeholders like +++name+++ are substituted with their actual values. Of course, the export functionality also includes a variety of diagrams. Some examples are shown below.
