Power Point Reports: graphs build automation

I'm looking for a way to automate PowerPoint report generation in JMP. Specifically, I want to:
- Maintain the same data structure and create a reusable configuration or setting file that allows me to generate PPT reports automatically.
- Avoid the repetitive task of copy/pasting graphs into the "Journal" and then manually building the report.

I have the below questions:
1. Does JMP's "Action Recording" function capture the steps for generating PowerPoint slides?
2. If not, is there a smart workaround to automate the process of creating graphs and exporting them directly into a PowerPoint report?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "maintain the same data structure", but if you're interested in exporting lots of open reports to powerpoint in one go, you could do something like this as a starting point:

https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/saving-multiple-reports-into-one-powerpoint/m-p/855559#M102...

This is just a simple example which creates a few demo reports and exports them as images to a single powerpoint file. 

 

To automate creating your reports in the first place, workflow builder is probably a good thing to look at - you can use it to record your steps and create a script, customise that script as you want then include the automated powerpoint export code.
