• The “Select Document” dialogue opens

• To insert a story from WeSustain, click on the button “WeSustain”
• Another dialogue opens

• Using the “Search & Filter” Ranges, the desired time series and organisational units can be selected. All text KPIs that correspond to the configuration are displayed in the list view in the dialogue
• Click on “OK” to insert the text KPI from WeSustain as a story into the Word document
• In the Content manager you can recognise text KPIs from WeSustain via the WeSustain icon

	Good to know
	Text-KPIs from WeSustain must not contain tables or graphics. To integrate these, see section Tables and section Graphics.

Tables

In WeSustain it is possible to export numerical KPIs from WeSustain with the help of a “firesys Export”. The following steps are necessary for this:

• Login and authentication at the WeSustain server
• Open the firesys export dialogue

• A new dialogue opens
• Select the option “Create new firesys export”

• Another dialogue opens in which indicators and organisational units must be selected
• By assigning a name, the export is saved in the system and can be used again in case of changes in the figures

• The export *.csv file can then be downloaded
• The export is imported by firesys using the Data import. The numerical KPIs can be used in Excel through the Manual values function or the Automate worksheet function. In the Data import manager, you can recognise the imports from WeSustain via the WeSustain icon

Graphics

You can export graphics from WeSustain to insert them into your firesys documents. A “firesys Export” button is available for each graphic from WeSustain.

When you click this button, the graphic will be saved to your file system with the following naming scheme: [title of graphic_wst.png]. This graphic file can then be inserted using the following options

• The graphic can be permanently linked to your document using firesys
• The graphic can be inserted using Office tools

In the Graphics manager you can recognise graphics from WeSustain via the WeSustain icon.
