In order to use responses collected in text form with Lucanet ESG Reporting also in reports in Disclosure Management, a separate option is provided in the Word ribbon. This makes it easy and convenient to insert text responses from aggregated ESG reports into a Word file. The function is available in MS Office for the Web, MS Office Native, and MS Office for Desktop.

Manually inserting individual ESG text values in Lucanet Disclosure Management does not use AI and remains possible even if the platform AI functions are disabled. The AI-supported processing of ESG text values, for example creating a text from several answers, is locked, however, if AI is disabled at platform level. For more information, see Using Copilot for Disclosure Management | Prerequisites for AI Functions.

In MS Office for the Web and MS Office Native, you insert ESG text values in Lucanet Disclosure Management using the Insert ESG text value task pane. You open it on the DM-Content tab of the Word ribbon in the Integration group. The task pane shows the report files, questions, and reporting entities for which you have permissions in Disclosure Management.

The Report file drop-down list contains the ESG reports whose data has already been imported into the current Disclosure Management document. The name refers to the imported ESG report. You do not select a local file here.

For a report file to be available, the data of the report must first be aggregated in Lucanet ESG Reporting. Then import the report data using the ESG Reporting Datasource data source into the Disclosure Management document to which the open Word file belongs. For more information, see Default Data Source for Importing from Lucanet ESG Reporting and Configuring and Executing a Data Import.

Without imported ESG reports, the Insert ESG text value task pane in Lucanet Disclosure Management is displayed as follows, for example:

Shows the 'Insert ESG text value' task pane in Lucanet Disclosure Management with the selected 'Insert ESG text value' option and the additional 'Insert ESG text value with Copilot' option. The 'Report file' drop-down list shows 'No report files available'. The 'Question from ESG Reporting', 'Choose a reporting entity', and 'Text value' fields are empty; 'Insert' is disabled.
