Helpful tips
- If you are using this data to add a new widget in Geckoboard, select "Datasets" and then choose the corresponding dataset when you are prompted to choose a source in Geckoboard.
- You can only send a maximum of 5,000 rows to Geckoboard at a time. If you find yourself exceeding this limit, we suggest using the Remove rows step or grouping your data to reduce the number of data points.
- If you are sending date data, it must be in YYYY-MM-DD format, which you can easily achieve using the Format dates step.
- If you do not plan on sending every column of data to Geckoboard sure to use the Remove columns step prior to the Send to Geckoboard step to reduce the columns down to just the data you wish to send.
