Converting a Microsoft Office Document into an Azumuta Work Instruction

What if you have a work instruction in the form of a *Microsoft Office document, and you would like to use it on Azumuta as well? Then, you can import it to Azumuta.

Our latest AI will automatically convert your Microsoft Office document into an Azumuta work instruction. All of the instruction steps and images from the Microsoft Office Document will be automatically transferred into the new Azumuta work instruction.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Create a new work instruction in Azumuta. Alternatively, you can also navigate to an existing work instruction – but make sure that it has no instruction steps.
  2. Click on “Import Office document with AI”.
  3. Select the desired Microsoft Office document.
  4. Wait until the import process is complete.
  5. Afterward, you can use & edit this work instruction, just like any other work instruction in Azumuta.

 

*Note: At the moment, you can only import a Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint document. Also, to use this functionality, we will first need to enable Azumuta Intelligence in your workspace. If you're interested in using or learning more about this functionality, please contact us through our support@azumuta.com email.
