Configure data table from a file

Data Tables allow you to show lists of information that are not necessarily related to users. For example, you may want to show a list of last month’s “Top 10 Opportunities”.

Data Tables can be configured by uploading a file in .csv, .xls or .xlsx format.

Format your File for Hoopla

• Hoopla will use the data in the header row as labels for your Data Table. These are the labels that will appear on your Hoopla TV channel, so be sure to name them appropriately, e.g. Opportunity Owner, Opportunity Name, Stage, Amount.

• Hoopla will pull data from the first four columns and up to 30 rows of data, excluding the header row.

1. In the Configure tab, click Data Tables underDatain the left nav. Alternatively, click the Data tile and then Data Tables tile.

2. Click Add button and select via file upload.

3. Give your Data Table a name and select a file to upload.

4. Once your file has uploaded, you will see a preview of the data that will appear on your Data Table. Confirm the information looks accurate before moving on to the next step.

5. Click Save.

6. You will see the newly-created Data Table in your list of Data Tables.
