Custom library: reuse, share, and standardize with ease

Create, organize, and reuse a personal or shared library of shapes, images, workbooks, slides, and more — to work faster, stay consistent, and collaborate better.

Why reusability and standardization matter?

In real-world reporting, teams waste time recreating the same content — from branded elements to standard templates and key visuals. Our custom library empowers users to save and reuse these assets, ensuring visual consistency and improving efficiency. Shared access makes it easier to align teams, departments, or even entire organizations.

Avoid repetitive daily work

Build once, reuse many times

Ensure team-wide consistency

Organize assets by type or purpose

Easily share branded materials

Speed up report and dashboard creation

Everyday applications

Take a minute to find out how this feature can help you in your everyday challenges:

In large or distributed teams, knowledge often gets siloed — one analyst builds a brilliant custom workbook structure, but others never see or benefit from it. Sharing happens through emails, folders, or not at all.

Custom library helps to remove these barriers by allowing shared library for teams, departments, or entire companies. Colleagues can access tried-and-tested resources — from useful table structures, to full reports or presentations — and build upon them. This accelerates workflows, reduces redundant work, and raises the overall quality of output across the board.

Monthly reporting cycles are often repetitive: slightly changes or the same structure, new numbers. Yet many users still rebuild files from previous months or copy-paste fragments from old documents, introducing inconsistencies or errors.

With the custom library, users can save full workbooks or slide templates that act as starting points. Simply pull in the current month's data and drop it into a predefined structure. This not only speeds up the process but keeps formatting, layout and messaging perfectly aligned. Over time, this creates a smooth, scalable reporting workflow, allowing to follow strict reporting standards like IBCS. It also saves hours every month.

Organizations often struggle to maintain brand consistency when different teams manually recreate logos, layouts, or design elements across files. Over time, layouts drift, shapes misalign, and presentations lose their professional polish.

With our custom library, you can store official, approved assets in a central one-drive location. This ensures that logos, presentations, reports and dashboards remain consistent, regardless of who builds them. Whether you're inserting a branded header for your slide or a full IBCS compliant report template, it’s available instantly — clean, compliant, and always current. The result is brand-aligned reporting within a given standard, without the effort of starting from scratch.
