Introducing Data Fields in Zoho Show

Introducing Data Fields in Zoho Show



Data fields allow users to enter values and display variable data. They are presentation-specific, constant variables that can be used across a given presentation. With the Show app, you can define both String and Numeric data. 

Say you are pitching a project proposal to three different clients. You will have to make changes to the client and cost details, while the other information remains the same. All you have to do is create a template of your project proposal and enter the client information and cost details as data fields. When it's time to present to a particular client, you can choose to display the data fields assigned to them. This saves you the time you'd otherwise spend designing multiple decks and making repeated edits.

How to add a data field:
  1. In the required slide choose where you wish to assign a data field.
  2. Now, from the top pane, select Text and choose Data Fields.
    The Data Fields dialog box will appear.
  3. Click Add New.
  4. Select either String or Numeric.
  5. Choose Direct source.
  6. Enter a value in the space provided.
  7. Click Insert Field.


Note: You can add any number of data fields to your slide deck.
Data fields can be added to text, tables, and charts.

You can download our iOS and Android apps to design, discuss, and deliver your slides on the go.

    • Convey Your Ideas and Convince Your Audience with Zoho Show

      Visual presentations are highly impactful and it is a no-brainer that your audience gets attracted to them. The use of images and videos help you reach your objectives by emphasizing your ideas more effectively.  According to the psychologist Jerome Bruner of New York University, "people only remember 10% of what they hear and 20% of what they read, but about 80% of what they see and do." For example, if the above data on its own, was presented visually, there is an 80% chance that the information
