Hide "updating" spinners in real-time dashboards

[tom_vanleijsen]

When the parameters/tiles on a real-time dashboard are updating, a moving icon shows up indicating the update is in progress. When a refresh rate is configured, this happens for all tiles/parameters at the same time. When the refresh rate is set to "continuous" it is even more annoying as you will see "updating", followed by "updated as of less than a minute a go", and straight after that it switches back to "updating".

This results in a lot of movement on the dashboard distracting customers without adding any value.

Customer should be triggered when the value of a tile changes (conditional formatting can be used for this), not when the update status of the tile/parameter itself changes.

The text indicating when the tile was updated is useful (especially in case of failures), but the "updating" spinners should be removed to make the dashboard calmer for the eye.

If an indicator is required for whatever reason, leave out the spinner icons and simply show "updating" without a spinner next to it.

Ignore my last comment "If an indicator is required for whatever reason, leave out the spinner icons and simply show "updating" without a spinner next to it." This still results in a lot of flashing in the real-time dashboard. Simply show the "last update timestamp".

Thanks for your input!

@tom_vanleijsen We've made some improvements on the spinners for continous refresh. Can you please check to see if this issue is still present for you? Thanks!

@msft_mnegrete what should I expect from this change? Not sure if all changes are already applied across all regions? So far, I don't see any change. Thanks.
