Display data tables from Google Sheets on your screens
Show up to four columns from a Google Sheet as a data table in your channel lineup, with display settings and a sync schedule you control.
If you are using our Google Sheets integration, you can use data from a Google report 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 pull data directly from Google reports, and update on a regular schedule.
