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>

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?

Refreshed. So, data sources create data sets that then provide tables and fields for building reports. Report visualizations are pinned to a dashboard and users can interact with dashboards and reports. When the data sources are refreshed, the reports and dashboards display the updated data.
So lets say that your hourly plant data has some metric that calculates some kpi. That kpi is reflected on a dashboard. When the data refreshes, that kpi reflects the latest data.
I hope I am explaining this satisfactorially. If you give me some sample data and an idea of what you are trying to achieve, perhaps I can walk you through accomplishing what you are trying to do.

Not quite sure if I am explaining this properly. When I update the data. the, dashboard does not change at all but the report does. The dashboard only changes if i delete the tile and repin it from the refreshed report.
