    Hi Prabukarana,

    The refresh button is used to refresh tiles on the report.

     

    In order to refresh your dataset on the service, you can either select the ellipse (...) for the dataset, and click "REFRESH NOW" to manually refresh the dataset immediately, or you can follow steps from this article to configure a schedule refresh for it.:smileyhappy:

        Hi Prabukarana,

         

        What's the connection string you're using for the configuration? Here is a similar thread about how to add ODBC data source under gateway, could you go to check if it helps in your scenario? :smileyhappy:

         

        Regards

  • Good Morning!
    I have the same scenario!
    My data is updating just fine using ODBC + Gatweway scheduled!
    But my question is: how do I make the service's web page update itself automatically?
    Because I need to use the page on a TV on the wall, and if there's no way, I won't be able to complete my project!
    Thanks!
