Hi  Gabry ,

 

 

It is possible that when the data was refreshed, the old data was not completely deleted and new data has come in, you can tap the Visual Object Refresh button in the top right corner after a successful refresh, you can also try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser to see if the problem still exists.

    Hi Anonymous , 
    thanks for the reply.

    Here my answer:

    1)the report is embedded in our application so there is no button for refresh the visuals.

    2) I can't ask to customer's users to clear the cache of the browser

    3)I can't really say because I can't reproduce the error but as I saw if I open it whit another browser the problem is gone. 

     

    What I'm looking for is a setup or some code I could write in the embedding to prevent this issue from happening, or any other fix that doesn't involve manual work from the end users.

    Is it possible to refresh visuals via API? Additionally, I should mention that refreshing the browser is not sufficient when this issue occurs.

     

     

     

    thanks
