dashboard not updating
- 11 years ago
Oh wow, that would be a massive problem. Why would you want a mobile dashboard that needed to be manually rebuilt each refresh period?

good to hear its a problem to be solved rather than a limitation. i might try a complete rebuild and see if that fixes things <sigh>
I *believe* from my testing that the Dashboard is kind of independent from the Reports so, no, clicking some slicers on a report is not going to change the dashboard. The dashboard will display the visualization as it existed at the time it was pinned in terms of slicer selections etc. but it will not dynamically change. In fact, in my experience while it shows on the dashboard as of the "point in time it was pinned", if you click it, it will go back to the report by default without the correct slicers selected, they appear as the report default selections (at time of upload). :(
Somebody correct me if I am completely off-base and wrong here.

Well, the dashboard will reflect current data but not changes to a report. So, if you update your data, the dashboard will reflect that in the context of the visualization at the time of pinning.

But if you hoped to have a dashboard for say hourly plant performance or even daily sales, available to users on their phones, the dashboard data would need to be rebuilt each time?
