Fugo's SAP Analytics Cloud app lets you display a live SAP dashboard on your digital signage screens without leaving a browser tab open and logged in on a device near your screen.

Instead of streaming your dashboard from an open, signed-in browser session, Fugo signs in to SAP Analytics Cloud on a schedule using credentials you provide once, captures an up-to-date screenshot of your dashboard, and displays that image on screen like any other piece of content. Your credentials and any secret key are encrypted and stored securely, and you control how often Fugo refreshes the screenshot.

Before you connect your dashboard, a couple of recommendations that apply whenever you're connecting any third-party dashboard service to Fugo:

Create a dedicated, least-privileged (read-only where possible) SAP account for Fugo to use, rather than an individual employee's login. This avoids interruptions from unexpected logouts, security alerts, or phone-number-linked recovery prompts, and limits what Fugo can access in your SAP workspace.

You'll need the URL of the specific dashboard you want to display. Open it in SAP Analytics Cloud, copy the URL, and keep it handy for the setup steps below.

When you connect an SAP Analytics Cloud dashboard, Fugo doesn't require your URL to match a specific SAP domain pattern – unlike some other wrapper apps, any valid dashboard URL is accepted. You'll then choose how Fugo should sign in. SAP Analytics Cloud currently supports two sign-in methods:

Fugo signs in directly with your SAP username and password. No secret key is needed for this option.

If your organization uses Okta for single sign-on into SAP Analytics Cloud, choose this option and Fugo will follow Okta's sign-in flow before landing back in SAP.

A Secret Key is the same kind of alphanumeric seed value an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) uses to generate a time-based one-time code (TOTP). You only need one if you sign in through Okta – if you sign in directly with your SAP email and password, skip this section.

With your secret key ready (if you need one), you're ready to connect your dashboard in Fugo.

1. Log in to your Fugo account. If you don't have one yet, start your free trial at www.fugo.ai/app.

2. Go to Dashboards in the left-hand navigation, then click Create Dashboard.

3. Under Browse dashboards, select the SAP Analytics tile.

4. Enter the URL of your specific SAP dashboard.

5. Choose your authentication method: Sign in with SAP Analytics Cloud or Sign in with Okta.

6. Enter your username and password, plus your secret key if you're using Okta.

7. Click Create dashboard.

8. This opens the dashboard editor. In the background, Fugo uses your URL and credentials to sign in and capture a screenshot – this can take a minute or two. You can close the editor and come back later, or configure settings while you wait (see Edit your dashboard – advanced settings below).

9. Give your dashboard a name – you'll need one to save it.

10. Once saved, your dashboard appears in your Dashboards library with a default refresh interval of once per day. A blinking green dot on the dashboard card means authentication is working and Fugo can access your dashboard.

Not every dashboard is "screen ready" as-is – some are long, dense, or have small elements that are hard to read from a distance.

Add your saved dashboard to a Design Studio canvas to crop it down to just the chart or panel you need, and combine it with other apps, text, or media on the same slide. Open (or start) a Studio design, find your dashboard under the Dashboards panel, and drag it onto the canvas.

From there you can crop, resize, and combine it with other elements, then publish the design to a playlist the same way described below.

A dashboard isn't published directly from the editor or your library. Instead:

1. Open (or create) a playlist, and add your dashboard to it as a content item.

2. Target that playlist to the screen(s) you want it to appear on.

3. Publish the playlist.

The same dashboard can be reused across multiple playlists and screens – updating and saving it updates everywhere it's used, so you don't need to republish each screen individually.

👉 Learn how in our Playlists overview

Clicking your dashboard in the library opens the dashboard editor, where you can adjust the Refresh Interval (how often Fugo re-captures your dashboard), resolution, and other capture settings, and choose whether Fugo runs the sign-in/capture steps in the cloud, on your own on-premise server, or on the player device itself.

These settings work the same way for every dashboard type.
