Securely display any dashboard on your workplace TV screens

A TV dashboard is just a dashboard designed to be displayed on a TV screen, usually mounted on an office wall individually or as part of a larger video wall. It allows teams to monitor things like productivity, progress toward goals and performance vs previous periods—all at a glance.

Fugo Dashboards lets you display password-protected or iframe-restricted websites that sit behind credentials on your digital signage screens, using a secure service to keep your data safe.

We do this in the back-end of our cloud service using a Chrome browser extension that captures real-time screenshots of the data you want to display live on screen without storing your browser data.

The extension records your steps as you login to the URL of your choice (such as Tableau, for example) and navigate to the dashboard you want to display. Fugo then renders an auto-updating snapshot of your dashboard for you to preview and then publish to screen.

Fugo Dashboards is useful for anyone wanting to:

- Display dashboards and web pages with basic authentication (user ID or email/password)

- Show content that lives past a login, such as graphics or data hosted on a web page

- Share sensitive or internal information without risking the security of your company data

- Avoid data risks or regulatory consequences with a GDPR-compliant system

Yep. The easiest way to do this is to loop multiple dashboards together in a playlist. This will act like a slideshow that scrolls from one dashboard to the next automatically. You can even control how long each dashboard displays before it transitions to the next one.

You don’t have to, but you can. Most dashboard tools allow you to build multiple dashboards with the same or similar data, removing and adding certain portions of your dashboards. You may want to have a simpler dashboard for your TV display, so it’s easy to read at a glance. Remember that viewing data on screen is not the same as viewing it on a computer - your audience is farther away, so before displaying them with Fugo, you might want to configure TV dashboards with fewer items on them to make them easier to read and understand. Since the data automatically updates, you just need to build each dashboard once.

Companies are producing more and more data, but it’s often locked behind logins. Most individuals and teams may not know which metrics are most important or even how to check them. And even if they do, it’s often time-consuming to get it. Most BI systems can spin up a dashboard into a URL, albeit a public one which in and of itself can be a security risk.

The problem is, it’s not always easy to securely get your important data in front of the people who need it. In fact, 60% of data-deprived employees report that it takes them hours or days to get the information they need to make a data-driven decision. With a TV dashboard on an office wall, your team can see and interpret their data with just a glance. Because the data is so accessible, it’s easy for everyone in your org to spot issues and opportunities for improvement.
