Solved: Auto update of dashboards - Page 2

zacevatt · ‎01-20-2017

I've read a lot of similar posts but nothing seems to give a specific answer. I have a dashboard created from a report, i've pinned the full report to create the dashboard and using SQL Server and enterprise gateway. I've tested with Direct Query and currently have it set up with it importing data on the hour (for the maximum of 8). I want to show the dashboard on TV screens to promote visiual management and need the dashboard to auto refresh itself.

The only way i have been able to acheive this is to use ?chromeless=1 F11 and use a Chrome Extension to auto refresh. It works but not as slick as i would like as you can clearly see the whole screen refresh.

Does anyone have a better solution? From what I have read some say it should auto refresh by itself and some say it is not designed to refresh at all??

Thank you in advance.

If I pin individual tiles they seem to refresh automatically. It's just limited in design and layout by pinning individual tiles but it does update.

so by pinning the entire report I'm guessing this will never update unless I run a refresh either manually or using a chrome extension for example?

Hi @zacevatt,

Yes. Refreshing live page tiles is currently not supported by Power BI. You need to pin individual tiles to dashboard, instead of pinning whole report. For more details, please review this similar thread.
