How can I get reports to auto refresh when published on a PA Dashboard?

tracydavis · ‎01-25-2017

Is there a way to have reports auto refresh when published on a PA Dashboard? This capability is available for homepages (you can chose the refresh rate of (off, 5, 15, 30 min, etc.). Is this refresh option available somewhere in PA?

I have shared a workaround download the updateset on share:

ServiceNow Share

This adds a widget pa_refresh you can add to the page.

Add the widget pa_refresh to the top of the page (otherwise it might not load).

While in editmode adjust the interval

After leaving edit mode, wait for refresh or click time to refresh now.

hi Thomas, I just implemented the "PA Refresh" widget too. I downloaded the update set at ServiceNow Share. I only have 1 update set which can be imported (XML) followed by Previewing & Commiting it (navigator "Retrieved update sets"). Now the widget is there and available in the Dashboard "PA Refresh" to be used.

@Arnoud, great widget! Many thanks

Hi,

In ServiceNow Share, There is no content available. Could you please help me how to set the refresh interval on Dashboards.

Could you re-upload the attachment? It has been removed from the ServiceNow Share.

Hello Arnoud, Can you please provide me stepwise configuration steps to create pa_refresh widget, since the link you shared has been removed from the servicenow page. Will be thankful for your response. Thanks

Hi Arnoud,

Do you still have the widget XML update set handy that you can share? Its not available on the developer site anymore.

Thank you.
