Setting the dashboard refresh rate

The refresh rate determines how often a single dashboard refreshes its data and browser view. By default it is disabled. Multiple dashboards in a collection may update data at different rates.

Best Practice: Use the dashboard automatic refresh feature when you need to display real-time visualizations, particularly for data that frequently changes. It is especially helpful for Live Access sources, since Birst does not automatically detect updates in those local sources.

  1. Click Refresh.
  2. Use the slider to set the rate.


    By default, the refresh rate applies to all dashlets on a dashboard.
