Dashboard Chart Refresh - a Different approach

Posted on by Pete_N 1,695

I have asked the question before about auto-refreshing a dashboard chart, and a big thank you to all that responded with suggestions. One suggestion resulted in the entire dashboard being updated which is not what I am looking for. Another suggestion was to use HTML .. and to be honest, I don't know how to do this and cannot find a good tutorial on this. ( any suggestions would be appreciated)

One thing that I have thought about, but am not techie enough to know if or how this can be done

The chart on the dashboard in question related to banking files created in a custom entity. My question is , is it possible to refresh a chart on a dashboard from a plugin. For instance when a record is created in the custom entity the plugin is fired to update the chart / refresh the chart and not the entire dashboard?

    you need to use HTML web resource.. in this HTML web resource add your chart.. and just code provided by Chitra to refresh HTML web resource..

    This way your only chart will be refreshed, NOT complete dashboard.

    If you want to refresh complete dashboard, then put complete dashboard into HTML web resource and use same code provided by Chitra to refresh.

    Add a web resource in place of chart and within the web resource place your chart using iframe.

    In your web resource html onload event call the below function to refresh the page. t is the time interval to refrsh the page in seconds. if you pass 300 then your chart will be refreshed for every 300 seconds.

    function TimedRefresh( t ) {

    setTimeout("location.reload(true);", t);

    }

    Plugin/workflow won't refresh the dashboard chart. Either user has to refresh the dashboard to get the updated information or placing the dashboard in web resource with meta tag refresh will work.
