How to set up Master Templates in Present

  1. Create a PowerPoint presentation (a .pptx file) with relevant slides

    Divide your slides into different categories

    Before you start, it is recommended that you divide your slides into different sections

    1. Master slides e.g. Frontpage, agenda, ending slides.

    2. Addon-slides e.g. based on the season

    3. Pricing slides

    4. Etc.

    This will help you structure your templates

  2. Each slide in the PowerPoint can be given a name in the notes section of the slide with the following syntax [slide:<slide-name>]

    • <slide-name> must be lowercase and without spaces.

  3. Set up sections for the Master Slides e.g. introduction, about the customer, about the bank, investing, etc.

    This can be done using the sections in PowerPoint. As an example see below:

    Section names

    Here the agenda slide is in the section 'Agenda'.

    To make subsections you can use the following syntax: <sectionname> -- <subsectionname>. As an example in the image above, slide number 3 is in the section 'Sektionsnavn' and has a subsection called 'undersektion'.

  4. Insert 'tags' where you want Salesforce data to automatically insert data in the presentation.

    To insert tags use the following syntax: [tag:<name-of-tag>].

    • <name-of-tag> must be lowercase and without spaces.

  5. Insert image tags to replace images in the template.

    To replace images use the following tag in the image name: [image:<image_name>].
