Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a social networking server that includes different engines and databases to support the generation of visually meaningful electronic presentations that present member-provided data in one or more graphical and understandable charts and graphs. An electronic presentation includes one or more electronic documents where various ones of the electronic documents are generated from templates that specify the 'look-and-feel' for a given type of electronic document. Rather than having to manually enter and design graphs and charts to present member-provided data in a meaningful way, the social networking server leverages the stored electronic document templates to create these charts and graphs. However, as there may be multiple systems involved in creating a given type of chart or graph, the social networking server is tasked with coordinating the efforts of these different systems.
