Common Data Entry formats

Tips and tricks when managing your data in a spreadsheet:

Data Column Supported Formatting
Title Free format (alpha, numeric, etc)
Summary Free format (alpha, numeric, etc)
TIP: Use ALT+ENTER to add a line break
Date DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY
Image

Both PNG & JPG formats are supported.

The way you reference an image file in this column will depend on the content source you have chosen:

  • File Upload: Enter "image:a_public_image_url" in the cell.
    e.g. image:https://vibe.fyi/images/logo.png

  • Google Sheets: Enter "=IMAGE(""a_public_image_url"")"
    e.g. =IMAGE(""https://vibe.fyi/images/logo.png"")

  • SharePoint: Copy your images into the parent folder where your data template is saved (or a direct sub folder), then reference the filename in your XLSX file, e.g.:
    • If your image is saved in the parent folder, the filename should be entered as '<imagefilename>.<fileformat>'.
    • If your image is saved in a direct sub folder, the filename should be entered as '<subfolder>/<imagefilename>.<fileformat>'.

Time HH:MM AM or HH:MM PM

TIPS

Set the correct slide duration

If the slide Duration field does not show "seconds per item" and the slide shows only one spreadsheet row at a time, we need to set a duration value that covers all spreadsheet rows. The steps to find the correct duration value are as below:

  1. Find a spreadsheet row that will take the longest time to show on the slide
  2. When the slide starts showing the content of that row, monitor the clock to measure the time until the slide animation completes.
  3. Enter the counted seconds into the slide Duration field.

Slide not updating?

Check the name of your sheet and try renaming it to 'Sheet1'

Text Formatting

Make your content stand out using Bold and Underline formatting.
