Important notice
We recently released a major version of the Mass Filter introducing a
breaking change.
If you are using this visual in your reports, you might be affected by an
inconsistent visual state issue.
Please read more about this in details on the Mass Filter page.
Data Refresher
Visual that repeatedly refreshes data, with a fixed time delay between each refresh.
Use the Data Refresher visual on your reports to repeatedly update the data and the other visuals. It is particularly useful when you display your dashboard on a TV screen without input devices and you want to see the latest fresh data.
Configuration
Put a dummy dimension in the Whatever bucket field.
Set the desired refresh rate in the Format option tab.
You can change the text size and the template of the label if needed.
Adjust position and size of the visual on the report canvas.
The Data Refresher uses a dimension to loop over its values to set a filter in order to trigger update on other visuals. To make this filter “transparent” to other visuals, make sure to add a dummy column to iterate on.
Usage
Click on the button to start/stop the refresh loop.
Template placeholders
{refreshRate}
: Displays the current refresh rate - “n units”{lastRefresh}
: Displays the date and time of the last data refresh made by the visual.
