2. Spreadsheet Source in New Tracker
To begin creating a tracker, you have two options:
- Click on the title "Tracker Create Wizard" in the left menu.
- Alternatively, click on the "Create Tracker" button located in the upper right corner of the trackers page.
Once you click on either of these options, you will be prompted to provide information such as source and destination details, as well as the name of your tracker.
2.1 Source as Spreadsheet
In the first step of creating a tracker, you will be prompted to create a source. Select "Google Spreadsheet" as the source type. Provide a descriptive name for the source and enter relevant information in the first input field, irrespective of the domain.
To initiate the access process, click on the "Connect with Google" button. This will open a pop-up window where you can begin the authentication and authorization process to connect your Google account with SignalSight.
After granting the necessary access permissions, you can proceed by selecting the desired sheet from the available options. Choose the sheet that you want to use as the source for your tracker, and then click on the "Next" button to proceed to the next step in the tracker creation process.
2.2 Destination Selection
In this step of the wizard, you need to ensure that the Google Sheet source is linked to one or more destinations. SignalSight provides you with a range of destination options to choose from. You can proceed by selecting one or multiple destinations that best suit your requirements.
After selecting the desired destination(s) for your tracker, click on the "Save" button to save your selection. Next, you will be directed to the tracker naming stage. Proceed by clicking on the "Next" button once again. This will take you to the next step in the tracker creation process where you can provide a name for your tracker.
After giving the tracker a name, you can conclude the wizard process by clicking the "Complete" button. Congratulations! You have successfully created a tracker using Google Spreadsheet as the source.
Remember, you have the flexibility to make edits, remove sources or destinations, and add new sources or destinations at any time on the tracker detail page. Simply navigate to the detail page of the created tracker, and from there, you can manage and customize your tracker as needed.
