Does anyone happen to know of a 3rd party or even community developed report generator that can be used with the ara Innovator 9.3 to "easily" paint reports, build the XML, build the XSLT and import back into aras for use?
I Googgled the web and found the XSLT report generators for WordML, but not sure if they will work with aras.
You help would be appreciated.

Hi Scott,
Not 100% sure if you're looking for a graphical tool or just text but I use XmlPad quite a bit for Aras work. It's free and is a general xml environment. I can write my query in it, apply it in nash, take the returned result and paste into XmlPad. After that I cut the default stylesheet from Innovator Reports, assign it to the xml data in XMLPad and then I just start designing the stylesheet body.
When I'm done I paste them back into the Query and Stylesheet areas of the Report tool. Note the first line of the query will need editing to work in the Innovator environ. and remove the <AML> level for the Report tool.
There's also Altova but I haven't used it in many years.
