PSC & OOMXL

The document discusses using PowerPoint and OOXML as an enterprise reporting framework. It presents a case study of a client that generated hundreds of PowerPoint presentations with over 400 slides four times a year from imported data. The solution developed leveraged OOXML and PowerPoint to dynamically generate the presentations by substituting data in templates on the fly, eliminating manual import and copy/paste steps. It provided a rules engine to administer substitution rules and scenarios. The solution phases, service workflows, and user experience are described at a high level.

Microsoft Office is where Information Workers spend the majority of their time Business People know how to use Office Tight integration and interoperability between Office Products Eliminate the need to spend money on other complicated reporting tools
- 8. Case Study – The Client Client creates presentations for their clients to use as selling tools Builds hundreds of PPTs with over 400 slides four times a year The process… Data Received from 3 rd Party Imported into Excel Manually Edited and Formatted Charts Copied into PPT
- 9. The Problem… 4 times per year 13 times per year Self reported data Automated data collection… order of magnitude increase. Manual Creation No Longer Possible without adding a “Small Army” SLA with customers required turnaround of deliverables within days Too many steps to get to the client deliverable.
- 10. Case Study - Solution Leverage OOXML and PowerPoint to generate their Product “on the fly” Eliminate import to Excel Eliminate manual “copy and paste” of charts and Graphs from Excel to PowerPoint Process order of magnitude more data Create a rules engine to administer rules and scenarios
- 13. Content Substitution Results 200 presentations are created each batch Each presentation consists of 440 slides including 372 charts/tables
- 14. System Overview Database Data File Data Loader Service Statistics Calculator Service PPTX Generator Service PPTX Output Web Tools
- 16. User Workflows
- 17. Our Solution – Phase 1 Leverage the OOXML format Template represents actual output Search and iterate through components on each slide and replace data as required Template takes in account maximum bounds for repeating sections and table pagination
- 18. Template Creation Client provides presentation with placement of grids, charts, and text token substitutions Develop data queries for charts and grids Populate database with configuration information for each slide
- 19. Slide Configuration in Database Tables that mimic the slide to chart/table relation Slide entries provide fields for custom token substitution and suppression formula Chart and slide entries provide fields for the dataset query,component order, title text Table entries provide field for custom format processor Slide index is tied to the slide order in the template
- 21. Slide Text Processing Collect all text parts in document Match text to list of tokens for substitution Replace token with result from substitution query
- 22. Slide Table/Chart Processing Result set from data query in database returns the labels and data for the table/chart Replace template data values with corresponding values from data query result Clean up table/chart by removing extra columns and rows from data series Apply custom formatting to data if custom format processor exists
- 23. Format Processing Each chart or table can have an associated custom format processor Format processor performed in code, some schemes require comparing values outside of the given table/chart
- 24. Slide Suppression Depending on product and document version certain sections of the presentation may be omitted Remove extra table data slides Remove data slides that produced empty results
- 25. Take Two – Content Generation Web based toolset to allow user to create a presentation dynamically Template is a single master slide that provides overall presentation theme All content and configuration for slides and presentation reside in database, or other external data sources (i.e. Sharepoint) Provide scripting for custom formatting for tables/charts
- 26. Taking Advantage of SDK 2.0 More document centric approach has closed the gap of difficulty for generating content versus replacing content Spend more time analyzing and implementing the business rules and less time creating the document
- 27. OOXML SDK 2.0 Comments Thank you Document Reflector Strongly typed document object model removes the complexity of having to develop the XML The OpenXmlDiff and Class Explorer tools have greatly increased productivity using OOXML as a document generation framework
- 28. OOXML SDK 2.0 Questions What changes will impact OOXML going from Office12 to Office14? What increase in efficiency in document production will occur from doing Content Generation versus Content Substitution?
