PowerPoint Creator

Automate creation of presentations using Petrel workflows

Here's an example of a workflow that generates a PowerPoint presentation with a slide for each of the properties on a grid. In this case, the user has chosen to use a single window and loop through each of the grid properties, creating a slide for each. A variable assigned to the property name is used for the slide text so that each slide is labeled with its displayed property.
