As much as we all hate to admit it, Powerpoint is still the defacto presentation tool, and it does provide some powerful diagramming tools that would be difficult to replicate.
I hate having to copy Aha views into Powerpoint, and the reverse isn't much better, copying individual PP slides as images into Aha notes. I want Aha to be the single source for all diagrams and not have them immediately obsolete. I want them to evolve like everything else in Aha and have their destination notebooks automatically update - one of the most compelling features of Aha overall.
I'd like to be able to add a slide from Powerpoint to a note/notebook and have it render natively. If I could edit that slide directly inside Aha, that'd be a dream.
Maybe? Integrate with Office 365, so you could grab Powerpoint slides from it, and if they change, update them on a refresh?
We just launched an add-in for PowerPoint: Aha! Roadmaps for PowerPoint.
Keep your product presentations perfectly in sync with the Aha! add-in for PowerPoint. Embed live roadmaps, charts, strategic plans, and status updates from Aha! Roadmaps directly into your slides - no more static screenshots or last-minute reformatting.
How to get started
To add the add-in PowerPoint, click “Add-ins” in the ribbon bar, and search for Aha. Note: Microsoft doesn’t allow exclamation points in app names, so just type “Aha” not “Aha!“
After you select Aha Roadmaps, a frame will be added to the slide.
To embed a view, you must first share it as a webpage. Once webpage sharing is enabled, copy and paste the link into a PowerPoint slide.
Please reach out to us at support@aha.io if you have any questions on how to get started.
The lack of ability to download into a PPT in a "smart way" is hindering us. When we have a presentation with a roadmap view that has a long scrollable list of items vertically, the image that is generated is unreadable because it tries to fit it in one slide causing tiny font. We need it to be smart enough to split across multiple slides with headers intact, so it is readable.
The export views into PowerPoint doesn't meet our needs. The lack to bring our key views (in this case, roadmap information via pivot table report format) is the one big miss for us and causes us a lot of manual work recreating manually in Aha, which is counterproductive.
AFAIK, a link needs to be configured in the MS Web Viewer add-in in PowerPoint 2019 in this format:
"presenter.ahaslides.com/presentation/{presentation-id}"
If not, where can the link for the presenter be found?
Hiding the headers & footers (by adding "?header=false&footer=false" to the URL) does not have any effect.
How can this be resolved?
The MS Web Viewer add-in in PowerPoint 2019 does not seem to store (login) cookies and Aha does not offer a "remember me"-login option (idea?). So, the presenter needs to login, during the presentation (in the presence of the audience). How can this be resolved?
The proffered solution is not feasible. Microsoft Web Viewer for PowerPoint—its bugginess and unreliability notwithstanding—is not installed by default. The typical corporate user (like me) cannot install software locally, including Office plugins. I just had to submit a support ticket to the IT helpdesk to see if they'll grant me an exemption, but I am not optimistic.
As it stands, this is insufficient and the advantages of the dynamic nature of the roadmap cannot be realized in presentations. It is not, nor will it ever be, tenable to design and run major presentations through Aha! itself.
Troy its interesting too as our company goes to MS Teams and loosing the ability to copy whole slides I definity see an opportunity for Aha to drive more presentations but without the ability to quickly copy over PPT files/slides/etc. no one will adopt.
Although Mockup is useful...I don't see it as the answer that will allow our PMs to work from within Aha!. They need more power in the "WIKI" or the ability to import slides of PPTs. If importing slides of PPTs...they need to be able to easily edit the file without having to download and re-upload. See my note about box integration:https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/APP-I-5593
