Introduction

Hello and welcome to this blog discussing the powerful SAC Add-in tool developed by SAC to allow users to  integrate SAC with PowerPoint. In this blog I will discuss the following points:

  • How to get the add-in
  • What is the SAC add-in for PowerPoint?
  • Configurations and Set up

 

How to get the add-in

From the link below you can download and install the Microsoft add-in.

PowerPoint: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200007270?tab=Overview

 

What is the SAC add-in for PowerPoint?

The SAC add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint allows you to embed SAC widgets directly into your presentation slides. This ensures your slides are always up to date with accurate data from SAC, eliminating the need for manual updates. You can connect to an SAC tenant, select and filter widgets, and refresh data on demand, making your presentations dynamic and reliable.

Important things to note:

  • Table widgets cannot be used with this add-on
  • You can only use optimized stories with this add-on
  • The story must be saved to the Public folder
  • You can refresh the widget's data at any time on demand

 

Configurations and Set up

1. Open PowerPoint and, similar to the SAC add-in for Excel, you’ll be asked to enter your SAC URL

2. You’ll then be asked to login with your SAC tenant details. Once you log in you can see all your SAC tenants’ stories.
