Intro

You can create and manage slideshows of your cards with the Slideshow Publications tool. When you create a slideshow publication, it displays in the list on the Slideshow Publications page. Slideshows may be useful in any of the following situations:

• Wallboards — You can view vital data about team progress on a wallboard or large monitor.
• Business presentations — As the presenter, you can pause the slideshow to discuss slides in more detail.
• Company kiosks — You can play a slideshow on a monitor.
• Departmental monitors — You can play a slideshow of cards that pertain to a department. For example, your sales team could view a slideshow of cards displaying sales during a selected time period.

​

Slideshow Types

There are two types of slideshows in Domo:

• Slideshow Publications — Display your content in a slideshow publication. You can either export the slideshow publications to other formats or securely publish them to the web.
• One-time Page Slideshows — These are simple Slideshows of all of the cards on a dashboard. They are unsaved—you simply select the View Page as Slideshow option for a dashboard and the Slideshow plays.

You can view your slideshow publication in kiosk mode on a wallboard, TV, or large monitor in a web browser by signing in to Domo and playing the slideshow publication.

Access Slideshow Publications

You can access Slideshow Publications from the main navigation by selecting More > Slideshow Publications. Slideshow publications allow viewers outside of Domo to view the content. When you publish a slideshow, Domo creates a URL for accessing the slideshow on the web. You can send an email containing the URL link to others, inviting them to view the slideshow. You can publish the slideshow privately; this requires viewers to provide an access code to view the slideshow. You can also schedule reports to be sent at specified intervals to users and groups in your organization. For information about the layout of the Publications Page, see Publications Page Layout.

​

​

Adding Cards to a Publication

You can add Cards to a saved Publication in the Publication Page. You can add an individual Card on a Page to an existing report by selecting > Schedule Report then choosing the Add to Report option. You can then choose the report you want to add the Card to. To add Cards to a Publication,

1. Select More > Publications.
2. For the Slideshow you want to add Cards to, select > Edit.
3. Enter the name of the Card you want to add in the Search for additional Cards to add field. The top results for your search appear automatically in a list as you enter characters and filter accordingly as you add or remove characters.
4. Select the Card you want to add in the list. The name of the Card is added to the field.
   Note: If you add Cards with Analyzer-filtered data to a Slideshow, the filtered version is the one that appears in the Slideshow. Likewise, if you add a Card to a Slideshow in which the data is filtered by PDP policies, the Slideshow is filtered based on your access, as defined by PDP. All users will see data based on the access of the user that creates the Publication. For more information about Analyzer, see Analyzer Layout.
5. (Optional) Add additional Cards to this Slideshow by repeating the previous two steps.
6. (Optional) Remove a Card from the field by clicking the “x” to the right of the Card name.
7. Click Add to add all Cards whose names appear in the field into the Slideshow.

Slides for the Cards you added appear in this Publication. The order of Cards in the Slideshow is determined by the order of Cards in this dialog. You can rearrange Cards in the dialog by clicking and dragging as necessary.

​

Sharing a Publication

With any Publication, you can choose whether you want to share it with selected individuals or not. When you publish a Publication, you can publish it publicly (URL) or privately (URL and access code). Also, you can send an email to let others know how to access the Publication.

​

Managing Publications

You can manage Publications in the Publications Page, which displays Slideshows you have created or which others have shared with you. When you mouse over a Slideshow, the Slideshow object flips over to reveal a number of options. You can learn more about these options in the following table:

Option	Description

​

Exporting Publications

You can export slides of KPI Cards from a Publication as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. Exporting may be useful when you want to present a snapshot of your data (as opposed to a dynamic Slideshow that updates when Card data is updated). The following table lists the major similarities and differences between exported Publications and those viewed in Domo:

In PowerPoint…	In Domo
Each Card appears as a slide Cards are static ; Cards are not automatically updated when the data they represent changes; useful when you want to present a snapshot of your data Exported Slideshows are viewed in Microsoft PowerPoint	Each Card appears as a slide Cards are dynamic ; Cards are automatically updated when the data they represent changes Slideshows appear in a Web browser

You can also download one or all of the Cards in a Page to PowerPoint without first creating a Slideshow in Domo. For more information, see Exporting KPI Cards. To export a Publication to Microsoft PowerPoint,

1. In the Publications Page, locate the Slideshow you want to export.
2. Select > Download.

You can also export a Slideshow after editing a Slideshow by clicking Save, then clicking Download as PowerPoint. You can view the exported presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint.

​

Administer Publications

You can administer Publications in the Admin Settings. Administrative options include removing Web access to a Publication, removing individual Cards from the Publication, or deleting a Publication entirely. For information about the Admin Settings interface, see our Admin Settings Overview. To administer Publications,

1. Select More > Admin. The Admin Settings appears.
2. Under Content, click Publications. A list of Slideshows and details of the selected Slideshow appear.
3. Select the Slideshow you want to administer.
4. Perform any of the following actions:

   Action	Description
   Stop sharing the Slideshow	Click Stop Publishing to remove Web access to the Slideshow.
   Remove a Card from the Slideshow	Click Remove next to the slide you want to remove from the Slideshow. When prompted, click Delete to confirm deleting the Card from the Slideshow.
   Delete the Slideshow	Click Delete to delete the selected Slideshow from Domo. When prompted, click Delete to confirm deleting the Slideshow.

   Note: When you perform an administrative action on a Slideshow, a notification is sent to the Slideshow owner.

​

View a One-time Slideshow of Cards on a Dashboard

You can view Cards on a Page as a one-time (i.e. unsaved) Slideshow. Because Page Slideshows show all Cards on a Page, you may want to create Pages designed specifically for Slideshows. For example, each project team in your Development department might have its own Page, and you want to showcase the progress made by each team in resolving software bugs. You could create a new Page containing those Cards from each Page that show this data, then play a Slideshow for the new Page. To play a Slideshow of all of the Cards on a Page,

1. Navigate to the Page with Cards you want to show.
2. Click located in the upper right area of the Page.
3. Select View Page as Slideshow.

For information about the controls in the Slideshow viewer, see the next section.

​

Use the Slideshow viewer

Domo contains a built-in Slideshow viewer that is used for presenting Cards one by one in full-screen mode. In the viewer, you have access to basic controls, including the ability to pause the Slideshow, skip to the next slide or backtrack to a previous slide, or specify the amount of time that slides remain on the screen. The main controls in the Slideshow interface appear temporarily in the top right corner of the screen when you move the mouse. There are also other controls that appear in other parts of the screen when you hover in those areas. All of these are described in continuation.

​

Main controls

The Slideshow feature in Domo has a main set of controls you can use to navigate through the slides, pause and play, specify the time between slides, and open a full-screen view. The controls appear in the top right corner of the screen when you start the Slideshow. These disappear after a few seconds but you can make them reappear by moving the mouse. These controls include the following:

Control	Description
	Backtracks to the previous Card in the Page.
	Pauses the Slideshow. You can also use the space bar to pause.
	Plays the Slideshow after it has been paused. You can also use the space bar to play.
	Skips to the next Card in the Page.
	Allows you to select the amount of time that elapses before the next Card appears. 10 Seconds is the default interval.
	Opens a full-screen version of the Slideshow.
	Exits the full-screen version of the Slideshow.
	Shows the Slideshow Hints panel.
	Ends the Slideshow, returning you to the Card Page. You can also press Esc to end the Slideshow.

​

Previous/next arrows

When you hover near the left or right side of the screen, large arrows appear that take you to the previous or next slide when clicked. These arrows are similar to the arrows in the main set of controls. You may find these arrows more useful in navigating through slides.

​

Card carousel

When you hover near the bottom of the screen, a row of Cards pops up—click a Card to jump to that Card in the Slideshow. If there are more than eight Cards in the Page, you can use the and arrows to “slide” the Card carousel left or right to show more Cards. If the arrows are dimmed, there are no more Cards on the Page in the direction indicated. Video - Creating a Slideshow
