Refreshing tiles using live connection Oracle/direct query
Hi everybody
i'm trying to refresh automatically tiles in power bi-service dashboard, but it doesn't work fine. I have to click on Refresh bottom to see updated data. What I want to do is to show tiles in a public screen that can be change its content whenever there is a change in the database. Obviously tiles must change automatically.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

pescobar Currently tiles cache gets refreshed every 15 seconds. So if your dataset changes then within 15 mins you should expect to see tile getting refreshed.
Please refer to this document for Tile refresh.
As ankitpatira said, tile refresh updates the cache for tile visuals, on the dashboard, once data changes. This happens about every fifteen minutes. You can also force a tile refresh by selecting the ellipse (...) in the upper right of a dashboard and selecting Refresh dashboard tiles.

Thanks ankitpatira and Herbert_Liu for your reply.
Like you said, i have been waiting for 15 minutes and more, but doesn't refresh at all.
For this project i definitely need the refresh occurs authomatically.
I show the screen with the specific tile that i want to refresh then I forced to change data making an update on the database and i wait to refresh without touch anything, but it anything happens.
I proved to refresh using ellipse (...) and the refresh bottom , and it works fine.
Please tell me if i missing something.

In conclusion, Power BI Tiles doesn't refresh automatically, it needs to be manually refresh by clicking on page refresh bottom. I'm using a live connection and i'm using on-premise datasource.
I could not use Power BI Tiles to display changing information like airport monitors that show fly arrived status.
Is this correct ??Thanks
