You can create bulletins from a PowerPoint presentation (*.ppt) file by uploading the file using the PowerPoint screen. This screen is available from the Bulletins | Create From... menu.
The general steps to follow are:
Use your browser to find the PowerPoint presentation file.
Choose the appropriate aspect ratio. The "appropriate" aspect ratio most closely matches the presentation file you're going to upload. Most presentation files will be Normal (4:3).
Click the button to examine the contents of the presentation. You will be given an opportunity to uncheck slides you do not wish to import.
The entire group of slides must be given a name. This name appears in the Now Playing | Bulletins screen and the My Bulletins screen.
Uncheck the slides that you do not wish to import as bulletins. All slides that are checked will be imported as a single group of bulletins for scheduling purposes.
Save the bulletins and move onto scheduling using the button.
If you have the privilege, the next screen you will see is the Schedule Bulletin screen. If you click in the Schedule Bulletin screen, then the bulletins you've just created are available in My Bulletins.
The first decision to make when scheduling the bulletins is which playlists. You can choose any from the list of available playlists but must choose the same mode, such as Normal or Alert. You cannot mix modes in one submission.
Choose the Show schedule. This determines the start and stop date and time of the bulletins.
Choose the Display schedule. This determines the start and stop times of the bulletins within each day.
Choose a pace for the bulletins. Automatic doesn't mean anything for a graphic bulletin, which is what PowerPoint slides become in AxisTV. You should specify the number of seconds explicitly.
Submit the bulletins to the playlists by clicking .
