Hello, I am embedding my SPICE-dataset backed dashboards in a java application (using Jcef & the java QS anonymous embedding API). The dataset refreshes every 15 mins and the dashboard refreshes when I click inside the dashboard in QS however, it does not refresh when within Java application. What…

Hello @harpar1808 , in that situation I basically create a refresh button. I have a parameter that gets set between True and False or 0 and 1. Then with calculated field, another field that just says refresh, and a navigation action resetting the parameter in a table, the user can click for fresh dat…

Hello @harpar1808 , in the embedded view of the dashboard, something will need to be updated to force the data refresh. On an embedded version of Quick Sight that I have worked on, I would include a nonsense parameter (it doesn’t even need to be connected to anything) and send an updated value to it …

Actually, I would step back a little bit. Here are the details: My data set is SPICE based (Postgresql underneath) and it is refreshing fine every 15 mins and loading close to 20K new records successfully. The QS dashboard itself (not even embedding) is just not refreshing until I change a date pa…

Hello @WLS-DM – But this is a work-around. Why does the QS dashboard not refresh in the first place even though the spice data is refreshed?

Hello @harpar1808 , I am not certain why this is not implemented but I can tag it as a feature request. For now, I would suggest using a work-around option like I provided above, especially if this is a time sensitive business requirement. Let me know if you have any further questions on this topic,…

However, per your response in the issue: Embedded Dashboards - How are the data & visuals refreshed? , you are mentioning that auto refresh does work… I am totally confused.

Are there any limits to how much refreshing can be done? I want to refresh lets say every 2 mins. Can I do that programatically ?

Hello @harpar1808 , there are no limits on time here, it is just whatever amount of time you want to set programmatically. I just used 15 minutes as the example since you mentioned the data is refreshed on that cadence.

Hello @WLS-DM , Coming back to this issue. To simplify, I tried direct-query to see if the dashboard refreshes automatically (without any user intervention), but even then in QS, the dashboard does not refresh. My requirement: – My data can be in spice or non-spice but I want the dashboard (in QS …

Hello @harpar1808 , this can only be handled automatically without user intervention in an embedded platform. That functionality does not currently exist for viewing dashboards within the Quick Sight console. This same functionality can be utilized to programmatically refresh the dashboard. On our e…

Hello @harpar1808, not exactly. It functions the same way but when embedded you can programmatically pass a parameter value every 15 minutes to refresh the data, rather than forcing the user to click a refresh button. That is what I have done as a work-around.
