Power Point Presentation Compi
I need a simple desktop application to work with Power Point and Excel.
Here are the main features:
The software needs to be able to compile a power point presentation from a variety of available power point slides that are saved as individual files. The software must have built in capabilities for the user to tell the program ahead of time which file to put into which location. The program must also have the ability to compile a corresponding excel price list from the slides that were picked and place them in the correct order. The program must have an administrative log in section that allows the administrator to make changes to the program and make changes.
Here is specifically how the program must operate …
Step 1: The user will input details about who the power point presentation will be given to such as the name of the Customer, the date of the presentation, and the name of the buyer or buyers that the presentation is given to. Also during this step the user will define the master file location where the slides that will be identified in the following steps will be located.
Step 2: The user will define the order in which the slides will be presented. They will do this by placing a number from 1 to 11 in a box next to the name of the segment. Each number will be used only once. The program must have logic built in so that if the user misses a number it will not let them move to the next step until at least one segment is chosen. The user may leave up to ten of the boxes un-checked but must choose at least one segment.
Step 3 through Step 14:
For each segment that the user chose in Step 2 another step will appear. One these steps the user will pick the individual items that they wish to have populated in the presentation. They must choose at least one item for each segment that appears. A segment or step will only appear if it was chosen in step number 2.
Final Step
During the final step the user will choose which type of presentation they want the program to create. They can pick as many as they want, but must choose at least one. Their choice are: Power Point Presentation, New Item Form, Show Form.
Behind the scences the program will compile the power point presentation as follows:
Using the data that the user inputed into step 1 the program will open up Power Point on the users desktop and will pick a template that I will supply. It will populate the information supplied into that template.
The program then will move to step 2 and will pick a slide for each item that was selected copy and paste it into the presentation and put it into the proper order. It will know which file to choose because in step 1 the user told the program the master file to search. Each item chosen in step 2 will have as their file extention name the same name as the user sees on their screen.
The program than will move to steps 3 through 14 as needed. In these steps the program will open up the individual item presentations and place them under the correct section. It will know to do this because each item will have the same file extention as the name shown on the screen.
The program than moves to the final step. Behind the scenes it will review the selections made in the previous steps and compile excel spreadsheets using a pre-loaded spreadsheet with only the items that were marked in the previous sections.
The attached drawings explain the program in further detail.
The admin section should allow the user to add and delete items and make other changes to the program.
