1
Search tool On the basis of several extensive
user analyses, a search function
was developed that offers
important advantages over
searching in printed documents
(PDF): search matches are
arranged by relevance (title,
subtitle, body text). The searched
term is highlighted with colour for
better identification, both in the hit
list and on the pages themselves.
Client example: Swiss Re
Download page for PDF and XLS A download page for PDF
and XLS files offers a simple,
but effective way of compiling
various pages and sections of
the report for download.
Client example: METRO GROUP

* Standard tools are covered within our standard framework package or through the production pro-cess itself. They are not listed separately on the quota-tion. No extra costs are charged for these features.

Indexed XLS file The indexed Excel file contains all
tables of the report in individual
worksheets. The values are
formatted in a manner that allows
for further calculation. According
to customer and user feedback,
this compiled file is one of the
greatest advantages of the fully
automated production process
behind a nexxar online report.
Client example: Deutsche Bank
Highlighting table rows Highlighting table rows
on-mouse-over or on-click
facilitates orientation, especially
in large tables.
Client example: KION

* Standard tools are covered within our standard framework package or through the production pro-cess itself. They are not listed separately on the quota-tion. No extra costs are charged for these features.

Service box“Print this page” allows users
to print the content of the
current page with the option of
excluding pictures and photos,
thereby reducing print run
costs. “Recommend this page”
forwards a link with the URL of
the page via e-mail to a friend.
This function can be combined
with Share-It/social media tools.
Back/Next/Bottom/Top-buttons
on the webpage are an additional
navigational tool.
Client example: Uniqa
Search engine optimisa-tion (SEO) More and more users locate
online reports through search
engines. The best possible
way of indexing the content
of a report is thus the key for
good visibility in search results.
All nexxar reports are therefore
optimised in this regard.
Client example: Google search
for BASF annual report

Legible URL structure A legible URL structure improves
and facilitates the orientation
within the report. When receiving
a recommended page such as
http://reports.wacker.com/2013/
ar/management-report/financial-
position/financial-management.
html the recipient can easily
determine that the recommen-
ded page refers to the Financial
Management section within the
Management Report.
Contact, help and sitemapService pages help make full use
of the online report.
Client example: Wincor Nixdorf
features.standard.*
* Standard tools are covered within our standard framework package or through the production pro-cess itself. They are not listed separately on the quota-tion. No extra costs are charged for these features.

Cross-linking of financial state-ments with notes Linking is what Hyper-Text-
Markup-Language (HTML) is
all about. This is carried out
throughout the entire report
wherever reference is made to
another section.
Client example: Merck
Light boxes to enlarge tables or graphs If graphs or tables are too large
to fit into the content frame of a
report, this option is applied to
accommodate readability.
Client example: Vienna Insurance
Group

* Standard tools are covered within our standard framework package or through the production pro-cess itself. They are not listed separately on the quota-tion. No extra costs are charged for these features.

Cross-referencesAfter a detailed analysis of the
content, we offer a network of
“further information” based on
the structure of the report. This
network includes links to topic-
related contents. The concept
is similar to what is known from
online shops: “Users who are
interested in this topic usually also
feel addressed by the following.”
Client example: HUGO BOSS
Compare to last year This function offers a link on
each page of the online report
to the corresponding page
of the previous year’s report.
Explanations and figures can
therefore be compared quickly
and easily over several years.
Client example: Volkswagen
(right service box under
“PAGE RELATED TOOLS”)

* Additional features make the reports more inter-active, and allow for refining and enhancing their usability. Additional features are not included in the standard package, but are charged separately.

Accessibility All nexxar reports meet the
requirements of W3C for
accessible web design at Level
A. To achieve Level AA and AAA,
all contents of the report that
normally could not be read aloud
by screen readers (e.g. pictures,
animations, videos) for blind and
visually impaired persons are
additionally described by means
of a text. In case of L&G, a textual
description of charts is offered.
Client example: Legal & General
Feedback As a point of reference for
dialogue, users are invited to
submit feedback on certain
topics. Once completed, the
form is sent via e-mail or entered
into a database.
Client example: Triodos Bank
(See „Tell us what you think“-
Teaser)

ChartGenerator This tool allows for the tailored
creation of graphics with the
aid of an interactive selection
and a variety of further options.
The respective selection can be
saved and printed as an image
or an Excel table. On request,
the ChartGenerator can also
be integrated into the client’s
corporate website.
Client example: ThyssenKrupp
Chart gallery All graphics from the report (bar,
line or pie charts) are offered
globally in a separate gallery
where they can be viewed and
downloaded. Furthermore, each
image contains a link leading to
the corresponding section.
Client example: BASF

Search – keywords This “guided” search function
shows important search terms
in a selection box. The user
is offered a list containing the
most relevant hits, regardless
of whether this specific term
actually appears in the text or
not.
Client example: AkzoNobel
Search – find as you type While entering a search term,
a list of content found in the
report is displayed beneath the
search box. The list is ranked
by relevance and adapts
automatically to the input. This
form of support leads users to
the required hits more quickly.
Client example: Barclays

Download Manager The PDF Manager allows for the
compilation of a tailored PDF,
containing all sections selected by
the user. The Download Manager
uses a shopping basket function
to merge files (Excel, PDF or MP3)
into a personal .zip file.
Client example: Wolters Kluwer
Print ManagerThe Print Manager collects
selected content during the
session. The selection can
be printed all together with or
without images, thereby saving
time and toner.
Client example: Zurich

Corresponding PDF page This function offers a link on
each page of the online report
which opens the PDF version at
exactly the same position as the
current online page.
Client example: Deutsche Bank
Layer glossary This glossary function offers an
explanation or definition of terms
or abbreviations, by moving the
mouse over or by clicking on the
required term.
Client example: Telekom Austria

Interactive single charts Graphs and tables from the
printed report are animated
as bar, line or pie charts. Any
graphic or table in the report can
serve as database.
Client examples: ERGO Direkt
Moving image Interaction between the user
and the report is boosted
through the multimedia nature
of the contents, thereby
actively involving the user. In
addition, nexxar always makes
sure to provide free access to
information to everyone.

Dynamic table This new feature converts the
numbers in a table row “on
mouse-over” into a line chart. A
button above the table allows for
this extra feature to be turned on/
off. Technologically, this plug-in
abstains from Flash, and can
therefore fully function on the
iPad/iPhone.
Client example: Schroders
Top 10 The 10 pages in the report that
are most frequently accessed
are displayed by means of a
database interface. This data
is generated in “real time” and
therefore always up-to-date.
Client example: LLB

iPad version A native iPad app is created on
the basis of the complete HTML
version of the report. It offers
an intuitive menu as well as a
powerful search function, videos,
links to further information and
to the respective page in the
previous year’s report, a share
option, a Layer Glossary and an
iPad-specific navigation through
certain finger movements, such
as zooming or swiping across the
screen to turn the page.
Client example: Snam
Responsive design Responsive design allows for an
ideal presentation of web content,
not only on large screens, but
also on smartphones and tablet
computers. The layout adjusts
automatically to the available
browser size, without the need for
an additional mobile version. This
makes the usage of online reports
more comfortable for mobile
visitors, and will thus continue to
gain in importance in the future.
Client example: ABB

Fast facts The fast facts function offers a
summary of the key content of
selected sections of the report.
By replacing texts with visual
elements, users can gain a quick
overview of the key contents,
with the option of obtaining more
detailed information by means of
further links.
Client example: Legal & General
GRI-backlinkingBy means of GRI-backlinking
corresponding indicators from
the GRI-table are provided
automatically on every page of
the report. On click, all additional
information to the GRI-indicators
is shown. This allows for a more
extensive integration of the GRI-
index within the report.
Client example: Linde
