Earlier this week we started the CustomShow Usability Tips series based on Chris Brodeck’s expertise helping clients navigate presentation software CustomShow. Last week we covered features like Presentation File Management, Save As Archive, Print to PDF, and more.
Now we’ll deliver a few additional tips that explain presentation notes, slide favorites, and more. Let’s jump right to it.
Favorite Slides or Presentations
It’s fairly common for sales team members to have a few favorite go-to slides or presentations. Users can add these favorites to the library with two clicks.
- Open any presentation in the Library and right-click on the slide you want to favorite.
- Choose “Add to Favorites” to add the selected content to the “My Favorites” in the Library drop-down menu.
Presentation Updates
While most organizations struggle with presentation versioning, CustomShow keeps everything straight with up to the minute updates. Notifications make users aware of new versions of presentations, but the presentation never updates without approval.
To remove updates from the Updates window, click on the Trash Can icon next to any of the specified updates. To avoid mistakes, CustomShow confirms the desired action.
Notes
Users can add Notes to any slide in CustomShow. To add Notes to a presentation:
- Select the slide where notes will be added and click on the “Notes” icon in the Main Menu.
- Go to View >> Notes. These Notes can be used in printed and PDF versions of all CustomShow presentations.
Edit Preferences
CustomShow offers a number of options to stylize and create sets of Font Families, Bullet Types, Backgrounds, and Header Fonts. To modify, create or delete Preferences:
- Go to Edit >> Preferences and select the style options you wish to save.
- Click the + Symbol next to the “Current Style” and give the style a name to save preferences.
The Help Button
Still looking for something? The CustomShow “Help” button is an excellent resource for more information. In the help menu you can access the following:
- A ReadMe file for the CustomShow presentation software.
- CustomShow Help details.
- Usage information for the CustomShow iPad Application.
- Tips for utilizing CustomShow Meetings.
- Users with access to Administration Modes can also find information on how additional Admin functions work.
