I got an error trying to connect my Looker Studio dashboard. ** First, make sure that you: 1) Share the dashboard with share@slideform.co using the share button in Looker Studio.   2) Enable report embedding (in Looker Studio go to File > Embed report > Enable embedding). Go back to Slideform. Delete the previous data source and set up a new Looker Studio data source following the instructions [here](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/how-to-connect-a-data-source?hsLang=en).   **How can I pull in my charts or scorecards together as a group?** There are two ways to group visualizations or scorecards together for display in Slideform: 1) Group the items in Looker Studio. Create a rectangular shape around the items to be grouped. You can make it transparent and send it to the back of the view (Arrange > Order > Send to back). Then, group your items with this shape. Select all the items and go to Arrange > Group.  In Slideform, when you set up the Looker Studio data source, turn on Index Shapes.![](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-03-10%20at%202-26-02%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=1004&height=134&name=Screenshot%202025-03-10%20at%202-26-02%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) Once these edits are made, refresh the data source in Slideform. 2) You can also define a new chart area in Slideform. See how to [group charts from the Data Sources page](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/managing-your-data-sources?hsLang=en#crop-and-group-from-page-preview).   **Why do I see an "Insufficient permissions" error in my report?** If you see the following in your report, Slideform does not have permission to see the data in this visualization. ![](https://helpcenter.slideform.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-09-18%20at%204-29-11%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=200&height=100&name=Screenshot%202024-09-18%20at%204-29-11%E2%80%AFPM-png.png) Please set the data credentials to "Owners Credentials".
