Deferred Refresh

Edit online

The Delayed Refresh feature provides deferred time for the users to select filters, pickers, or slicers and see the updated results based in the report. This is useful for large, complex reports where multiple interactive selections are made.

In 12.10.8, this feature was available as part of Report Studio > Navigation bar, with the options Live, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, and Manual refresh.

From 12.10.9, the feature has been enhanced to remove the Live, 2 seconds, and 5 second options. The new options are:
  • Refresh Delay: 3s: The system waits for 3 seconds before refreshing the screen.
  • Manual Refresh: This mode requires the user to select Refresh to update the report.

This feature is available in three views:

  2. The Report tab is enabled. Apply the appropriate filters and modify the refresh settings as applicable.
