Refreshing a dashboard automatically

The dashboard can be set to automatically refresh according to a regular interval specified in seconds. This can particularly useful when displaying a dashboard on say an overhead screen in a workplace where information is very dynamic and source datafeeds are scheduled to reload regularly. i.e an A&E waiting room or a warehouse.

When the dashboard refreshes, components shown on the dashboard are refreshed with the most up-to-date content of the underlying datasets.

Note: Refreshing a dashboard does not trigger a reload the source data within the underlying datafeeds. This is achieved via the datafeed sheduler when editing a datafeed.

To refresh a dashboard automatically:   

1   Edit a dashboard and select the Dashboard Settings  icon:     

2   In the Refresh Interval section, specify the refresh interval you wish to apply in seconds.

Note: If the underlying datafeeds only refresh say every 24 hours there is no point setting a dashboard to refresh every minute.
3   Click the OK button and save the dashboard using the save icon..
