Embedding Google Sheets or Google Docs Files in iObeya
iObeya’s "webcontent" tool displays external content using a URL. To properly display a Google Sheets or Google Docs file, you need to use the correct URL, which can be customized to improve the display.
How do I display a Google Sheets or Google Docs file?
Simply copy the file’s URL and paste it into the URL field of iObeya’s external content tool.
Examples:
- Google Sheets:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/yourGoogleSheetID/edit?gid=0#gid=0
- Google Docs:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/yourGoogleDocID/edit
Can I customize the display?
Yes, you can add a parameter to remove unnecessary elements (like menu bars) for a cleaner display.
Customized examples:
- Google Sheets:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/yourGoogleSheetID/edit?rm=minimal&gid=0#gid=0
- Google Docs:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/yourGoogleDocID/edit?rm=minimal
How do I use this URL in iObeya?
Simply paste the URL (customized or not) into the URL field of iObeya’s "webcontent" tool to display the file on your board.
