Configuration
The PowerPoint Report feature is accessible from the report section as for the other formats already supported (Word and Excel). This is a new type of file format supported on Daxium-Air. Refer to the Report section for more details.
In Report Engine : Select Aspose Library for PowerPoint
Upload your document template in .PPTX format
Usage The report template is then accessible from your user interface. From your submission of the type for which you loaded the template. (Like any other type of template format)
example here: from the manual generation interface
You can download the generated report in PowerPoint format from the notification bell, or from the report access menu on the submission.
PowerPoint Report Syntax
The syntax is similar to the .docx report type. However, fewer options are available.
Inserting fields
As for Word: <%[FieldName]%>
Supported Options In text boxes and table cells you can also use text functions like If , Format , Date ,
Not Supported options There is no support for Hide/End , Display/End , Images functions Images
Simple Image Insertion function , no options.
The image will be resized to the corresponding text box or table cell. <%Image([ImageFieldName])%>
Relations You can insert relations into your document. You must create a section with the following syntax <%Relation:RelationFieldName;Name:SectionName%> RelationFieldName being the name of your relation field SectionName being an arbitrary name for your PowerPoint section.
There will be as many slides created as there are related submissions. The template slide will be replicated as many times.
❕ Important note : Only 1 level of relation is supported to date.
💁🏻 Tips : If you insert text values into strings such as:
<%If([Image2.Count]>0,[Image2#1Comment],'N/A')%>
Pay attention to the quotes that must be single ' PowerPoint sometimes automatically changes these quotes to ''. It is therefore better, in this case, to prepare these insertion strings in a text editor, then copy/paste them into PowerPoint.
