Troubleshooting the Looker Studio Integration

Answers to some common questions about the Slideform integration with Looker Studio

 

Help! 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).

Then go back to Slideform. Delete the previous attempt to add the Looker Studio connection and create a new data source following the instructions here.

 

How can I pull in my charts or scorecards together as a group?

If you want to group visualizations or scorecards together for display in Slideform, first go to Edit mode in Looker Studio and 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.

Once these edits are made, refresh the data source in Slideform.

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.

Please set the data credentials to "Owners Credentials". See instructions here: https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/6371135#zippy=%2Cin-this-article%2Cowners-credentials
