Storyboard

Storyboards are a powerful tool to share CXO information within the organization. Storyboards are a string of report bookmarks put together to deliver a full story during a Board or Controller meeting. The Storyboard guides a presenter through the presentation.

Storyboards remain interactive at all times. Within the presentation the presenter can switch to another point of view and still remain in control of the presentation.

CXO has the ability to Export a complete Storyboard to Microsoft PowerPoint, PDF or Microsoft Excel.

There are two types of Storyboards – Standard Storyboard and Scripted Storyboard. Below you will find information on Standard Storyboards. Details on Scripted Storyboards can be found in the Scripted Storyboard article.

Storyboards can be started from the "Storyboards" menu tab:
