    Hi All,


    Following your feedback on the Power BI community, we have improved the dashboard refresh functionality. You can now manually initiate a refresh to your tiles by opening the dashboard in the Power BI Mobile app for iOS and pulling down the top of the screen (see the animated image below).
    When performing a manual refresh, we also trigger a tile refresh. Tile refreshes update the dashboard view, and retrieve the latest data in the underlying model. This means that you can be sure that your device’s screen is displaying the most recent tile data.
    Please note that dashboards are updated automatically per dashboard owner configuration. Dashboards that are based on Direct Query connections have an automatic update about every fifteen minutes, so triggering a manual refresh will result in getting the latest data from the connected model.

     

    see Video in the release blog:

    Hello again,

    As the person who originally raised this discussion I thought I should return and report my findings.
    From my testing I confirm that dashboards and reports collecting data via direct query are working great. The dashboards are syncing to the live, on premise data, when you 'pull down' the screen on the iPhone.

    Thanks to all who commented to confirm I wasn't going crazy and those who fixed/improved the Power BI product.

Hi

 

I would appreciate your feedback on the following issue.

 

I've created a dashboard on Power BI desktop that has been uploaded to my Power BI Cloud(I have the Pro account).

 

I've used direct query when importing tables from an local SQL-server and would like to display the dashboard on a monitor.

But I'm facing some issues with the dashboard refresh, updates in the databases are not being shown in the dashboards.

 

Even though were using Direct Qurey mode and an On Premises Gateway, the dashboard content are not being updated.

Would like a solution with automated refresh (without manual intervention).

 

Any suggestions?


Thanks
