Hi,
I need to publish to web while also having a live automatic refresh of the data and dashboard (or report).
I have a wall mounted screen which will display the dashboard or report by url in the browser (without logging in).
I seem to have come accross the following limitations.
Dashboard:
Live automatic refresh when the dataset refreshes.
Can't publish to web (users must log in to see).
Report:
No Live refresh, user has to click refresh manually even if the data set is refreshed.
Can publish to web and anonymous users can access.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
It seems like it must be a common requirement.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I am using Power BI pro on trial and it does not seem to resolve the above limitations.
I managed to get around this by publishing the report to the web and then using a display service (piSignage) that refreshes the page at a set time interval.
After the dataset is automatically refreshed in the background it takes the web published report somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour to update (or for PBI to stop caching it).
I can't seem to find any documentation on this caching of web published reports or how long it is for. It would be nice to know the details.
