You can refresh a whole dashboard or, as a faster alternative,
you can refresh individual viewlets or single dashboards pages.
About this task
Dashboards are sophisticated Web UI applications that may
be expensive to refresh by simply reloading the entire page using
the browser's Refresh button. A much faster and more selective alternative
is to refresh individual viewlets or the entire dashboard pages.
Note: Viewlets
also refresh themselves periodically. Each viewlet has auto-refresh
configured with accordance to the content it shows. Viewlets showing
content that changes often will refresh more frequently than viewlets
whose data that rarely change on the server.
- To refresh a single viewlet's content, select the drop
down in the viewet's title area and select the Refresh action
from the menu.
- To refresh all the viewlets on the currently visible dashboard
page, select the Refresh action from the page
tab drop down. Alternatively, select the Refresh tool
bar button from the dashboard tool bar (upper right corner below the
title area).
