The Quick Data widget allows users to define groups/tabs of data that can be quickly edited via Display Studio. This feature could be used to enter and publish answers to quiz games, attendance numbers, anthem singer details, etc. This works with Data Studio to provide data. Show Control, VCS, and Data Studio are required for this functionality. 

Steps

Quick data needs to be enabled for Display Studio and permissions need to be applied in Venus.  

👇Click on the arrows to expand each section.
