A handy and dynamic addition to the Fusion Signage Designer – allowing you to link a Google Sheets page to your content. This means you can update your messages or pricing without having to re-publish your designs or update your screens. A seriously huge time-saver. 😎
There's a tiny bit of set up involved, so here's how to get your virtual ducks in a row. 🦆

Now you're all set up – let's see the Google Sheets widget in action. 🙌
The Google Sheets widget is part of the Designer. It offers customers with an Advanced or Pro Licence the ability to pull dynamic data through to their screens.
Do you have a few designs with the same information in each? Updating them one-by-one is a thing of the past, because now you can use Google Sheets to update them all at once (without having to re-publish your designs!).
Let’s say you have a menu board, but in a few different styles. You can now enter all of your menu items into a Google Sheet (name, price – any information you may need to update), then use the Google Sheets widget in the Designer to link each cell to an area on your screen.
Once linked, you can update the Google Sheet cells to change the information on all designs. Easy-peasy and snappy-snappy! ⚡️
And there's no need to choose between branding and the ease of dynamic data. The Google Sheet widget's text is completely customisable to suit your vibe. 😎
You can also share your Google Sheets page with anybody in your team and allow them access to update specific sections of information without them having to login to the Fusion Signage platform. Your screens will automatically update within 15 minutes – no extra fingers need to be lifted.
