Google Slides

Google slides is a powerpoint like slideshow presentation software, we use it to make cart instructions for Bolt Film Solutions Carts.

Starting a new cart instruction

• Go to the Instructions Template in our google drive

• Make a copy of the cart instructions template and rename it to the cart you are working on.

• For the cover page use the edited final photo of the cart cut out as a png file.

Contents Page

• use the same edited final cart photo from the cover page

• All instruction/copy text should be Montserrat regular size 11

• All parts/pieces including any hardware need to be listed in the contents, use the BOM app and the packing list to make sure you include everything

• The contents box can be made bigger or smaller to fill up all of the contents.

• All copy text needs to be approved by Ryan, make a note on the slide for any text that requires approval.

• Thumbnail photos of all parts are in the parts section of the google drive

• Pipes are .35" x .68" For the rest use your best judgemet to size them all close.

• Parts of other slides/sintruction pages can be quickly pasted into your current project

• Add a link to the contents page into the BOM app

QR Code

First you will need to publish the google slides to the web.

• Click File > Share > Publish to Web
• Keep everything as Default
• Click Publish
• Copy the link

• Go to Linkly HQ to Create a QR Code.
• Click the New Link button in the top right.
• Paste the link
• Use the generated link title.
• Click Save Link
• Click on the QR code that has been generated.
• Give the QR code a foreground color of #0055AD.

This must be exact as capital letters matter.

• Download this png file and put it in the contents page.

You will have to paste it over the previous QR Code.

Instructions Page

• Ensure instruction step number is correct

• Create Contents Box

This can be widened to accomodate multiple parts. You can copy/paste this from the other areas of the instructions template to this page.

• Re-write instructions on the slide.

These should be as short as possible.

• Replace Step Photo on Right Side

You can do this by right clicking the photo and clicking Replace Photo > Upload from Computer. Then select your photo. This will replace it perfectly in the space provided.

• Add Correct Dots

Do not delete the dots if not necessary. It is much easier to change the color of dots then add new ones. To change the size of the dots click on one > Click Format Options in the top Toolbar > Click Lock Aspect Ratio. From here you can change the size using a number and it is much easier to control. This also helps you make sure dots are a similar shape where needed.

Template Notes While this should be in the template, it is just to note it here.

• All instruction/copy text should be Montserrat regular size 10
