Looking at Tape as an alternative to another program most of my clients use. Until you get a better dashboard solution, is it possible to integrate with Looker Studio or other external dashboard?

Hi @rpcv,
first of all a very warm welcome to the great Tape community. We are very happy that you are here!
The only way that currently works should be via an iframe in the calculation field if google allows that.
But that’s more of a workaround than the solution you’re probably looking for.
However, the dashboards have the highest priority in the development and as one of the first dashboard blocks we want to offer a script block with which exactly such an embed of google locker studio or others can be implemented.
Cheers

Hi awesome Tape community 
now that we are making really good progress with the groundwork in the dashboards and are getting into the details, we would like to understand even better which tiles (widgets) people are currently using the most so that we can design and prioritize sub features in the best possible way to solve these use cases first.
It would be amazing for us if you could post screenshots of your dashboards, where of course no critical data should be recognizable. If this is difficult, it would be also great if you could just send them to me directly.
We have also created a list of the current feature set including known extensions and workarounds. It would be very helpful if you could also look through this and select what is currently most important for solving your use cases.
If something is missing or you have further insights, ideas or wishes, please feel free to post them or send them to me personally!
Many thanks in advance for this great support and best regards

Hey Leo,
Below are some screenshots from a dashboard I created with Podio and Procfu. The data is just pulled from widgets and views with quite a bit of custom javascript to get the users pictures to show in the tables etc.
Just wanted to post this to give you an idea of the type of charts I use which are all pretty basic bar and pie charts:

Hi Martin,
that’s truly impressive! Really cool what you’ve built there. Especially when you compare it with the built in reports and charts from Podio.
One question, how do you integrate this into Podio? Probably with a link on the Workspace page or Home?
Cheers
Leo
Yes it’s just an external link that ProcFu provides that can be put anywhere (usually I put it on the home page) so while it’s connected to Podio via ProcFu it’s not integrated into Podio
That sounds very exciting, one of our first blocks in the dashboard that is currently in beta is an embed block with which you can embed a lot of web content with an iframe including Google Looker Studio. I personally would be very interested to know if the current version works with ProcFu. Could you perhaps send me a link with the dummy data you posted here so that I can test it briefly? If not possible, no problem at all 
Sure, I’ll send it over!

Yeah! Many many thanks!
Great thanks Martin! That escalated quickly, it actually worked straight away. Another point done in the beta QA

Hi chaps, at Future Solutions we use GDS (amongst other things) alongside Podio embedded in items which render on desktop (not as well on mobile as first 2 shots testify to, 3rd image is what shows in item on desktop but have cropped client name out from phone) but that includes the ability to change the report filters etc.
(Only allowed one image per post, hopefully 2 more to follow)

Hi @petecuff,
many thanks for the insights! It’s impressive how you at Future Solutions integrate such powerful reports into Podio. Since GDS is the pre-product of Google Looker Studio, I assume that the reports created will also work with our embed block. Would you maybe also have a dummy link via message so that we can doublecheck this internally?
Moreover I would be most interested in how you currently synchronize the Podio data to GDS?
Cheers
Leo
Years ago I built Podio dashboards with Plecto.
A survey
A sales pipeline
You can’t see much anymore, but there is an idea of what it could look like.
- I like to work with a combination of charts and transparent images (.png), which I can then overlay.
- I would also find it exciting to insert images directly from a URL, the joke would be that the images are not loaded, but only displayed, so they could change depending on the status etc.
