Hi Dreamland

I think you maybe meant to post this in the Project group - we're the
PowerPoint people. The groups are right next to each other so you're not the
first and I'm sure you won't be the last

Hi Lucy,
Thanks for the nice reply. Actually, I know I'm in the PowerPoint group. I
do have a need to build a powerpoint presentation to summarize couple of
projects progress.
I would like to have a template that can help me these projects using a
standard dashboard with some project management icons/artwork/etc..

I hope I'm not in the wrong forum.

Cheers
daMan

Hi daMan

Hmmm, not sure I can help as this isn't really my area - I would build that
kind of thing from scratch (and I know people who write electronic reporting
stuff for a living.... it's fairly complex!). It really depends on your data
& where your pulling it from for the actual dashboard bit - there's plenty
of software available to create digital dashboards for you (e.g. some
suggested here: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22-1046317.html or
Business Objects:
http://www.businessobjects.com/product/information_delivery/dashboards_visualization.asp)
but again it depends on your data (and your budget).

If you just want a pretty background try looking here:

I hope that helps. Post back if you have more q's. And for advice on
dashboard software, I would go to the project group
