Glossary

In Lucanet Disclosure Management, you create Word reports and PowerPoint presentations from centrally managed report data. The following sequence describes how to configure and create a result document. Depending on the required output, create Word files, PowerPoint files, or both file types for your chapters. For PowerPoint files, use MS Office Native exclusively.

You do not have to follow the recommended sequence in detail. If necessary, individual steps can also be carried out at a different time. For greater clarity, we have focused on the main steps and have not described optional detailed steps.

Creating a Document

In the Dashboard, new documents are created and all the documents that have been created in Disclosure Management are displayed.
