How to alternate between multiple dashboards automatically

[TrentonShaw]

Hello,

I'm struggling to find a way to get one screen to scroll through a series of dashboards.  We're a comparatively small team with just the one screen to display dashboards in the office, but obviously have multiple dashboards for sales KPIs, marketing, pipelines etc.

Does anyone know of any way to make the dashboard screen flick through a specified series of dashboards at set intervals to save manually changing it to the next one all the time?

TIA,

Trenton

Just a thought to piggy back off what Jennifer said, what about using a browser extension that automatically switches between tabs? Then you could set up each dashboard in a tab as she suggests and have the extension cycle through them. Mind you I have no experience doing this, but I did see a couple of automated tab switcher plug-ins in the Chrome web store.

Turns out the LG Smart TV we're running the dashboards on (using the built-in browser) doesn't have any plug-ins (that I can find) and I can't download Chrome onto it as a third-party browser🙄😂

So unless I do some screen mirroring from a spare computer if there is one, we're back to square one.  Not your problem though, the hack would work if it wasn't for a bit of bad luck our end so I'll mark it as the solution - thanks for all your help @Jnix284 and @MichelleMassung - really appreciate it!

Hi @TrentonShaw the only thing I can think of would be to open each dashboard in a tab using Chrome and save that as a group so you can access/reopen any time, then you would just have to switch between the tabs for your meeting.

Afternoon Jennifer,

It's not so much for a meeting than just for a screen that's always on display in the office...trying to eliminate manually switching between the different dashboards if you see where I'm coming from...sorry to be awkward.

Thanks for the reply though - appreciate the engagement 🙃

Ahh brainwave!

Should have thought of that - fantastic idea.  Thanks a lot, I'll let you know how I get on!

@TrentonShaw no worries, always happy to help - it sounds like the tab switcher @MichelleMassung suggested could make it work 🙌
