Five file formats in. One live table out.
Point the connector at a hosted data file — CSV, TSV, JSON, XML, or XLSX — and its rows render as a live data table on your screens, re-fetched on the sync schedule. Pricing lists, rosters, schedules: if it exports to a file, it displays.
The file your team already maintains, on screen
Many teams keep operational data in exported files. Host the file at an HTTP(S) URL (your site, a share link, an export endpoint) and the connector fetches and parses it on schedule: delimiter and header options for CSV/TSV, a data path for JSON, a root path for XML, first-worksheet parsing for XLSX. The parsed grid publishes as the canonical data table for the Live Data Table widget.
What you can do with One live table out.
Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.
Real parsers for real exports
CSV and TSV honour your delimiter, encoding and header settings. JSON exports drill to the records via a data path. XML feeds use a root path. XLSX workbooks parse natively — shared strings, first worksheet — with no spreadsheet software involved.
The export your system already produces is the integration.
Delimiter, encoding, and header-row controls
Dot-notation JSON data path; XPath-style XML root path
Native XLSX parsing
Update the file, the screens follow
The connector re-fetches the URL on the sync schedule; when your team updates the file, screens reflect it at the next fetch. Authentication headers cover protected locations, and last-good data stays up through transient failures.
Set the URL once; ownership stays with the data.
HTTP(S) sources with auth header, API key, or Basic credentials
Last-good data on fetch failure
Row cap and sorting keep tables screen-sized
Columns the screen deserves
Map and rename columns, hint types for correct alignment, sort by the column that matters, and cap rows to what is readable at a distance. The published table is the curated version, not the raw dump.
A spreadsheet for the wall, not a wall of spreadsheet.
Column mapping and renaming
Type hints for numbers and dates
Sort column and direction
Four steps to connected screens.
From setup to live content in minutes, not days.
Host the file
Put the CSV/TSV/JSON/XML/XLSX file at an HTTP(S) URL — your web server, an export endpoint, a share link.
Connect and configure
Add the integration, set the URL, format options, and authentication if the location is protected.
Shape the table
Map columns, set types, sorting, and the row cap.
Bind and schedule
Bind the Live Data Table widget to the feed in the Content Designer; the file re-fetches on the sync schedule.
Built for every sector.

Directory boards
An HR-exported CSV renders as a searchable-at-a-glance staff directory on lobby screens.
RetailPrice list displays
A pricing XLSX maintained by the buying team feeds in-store price boards at every fetch.
EducationTimetable screens
Scheduling-system XML exports render room-by-room timetables on campus screens.
HospitalityEvent schedule boards
The events team's JSON export keeps conference-centre screens current all day.
Common questions. Straight answers.
What file formats are supported
CSV and TSV (configurable delimiter, encoding, header row), JSON (with a dot-notation path to the records), XML (with a root path), and XLSX (first worksheet, parsed natively). Files must be reachable over HTTP or HTTPS.
Can it fetch protected files
Yes — header, API-key, and Basic authentication are supported, with credentials stored encrypted. FTP/SFTP file servers are covered by the separate FTP/SFTP integration in Cloud Storage, which imports into the media library.
How fresh is the data on screen
The file re-fetches on the integration's sync schedule, and screens update at the next render. A failed fetch keeps the last good table on screen rather than blanking it.
How large can the file be
Parsing caps at the configured maximum rows — keep display tables modest (tens of rows) for readability; the row cap and sorting pick the slice worth showing.
One price. The whole platform.
