Automatically Refresh Tableau Published Views in a Browser at Regular Intervals

Unable to configure Tableau to automatically refresh views in a browser at regular intervals.

Cause

The ability to automatically refresh published Tableau views displayed in a browser at regular intervals is not currently built into the product.

Note: There is no function built in Tableau to trigger refreshing an extract when a record is added/edited on the extract data source. If you want the real-time data on the dashboard, the preferred method is to use a Live connection instead of an extract. 

Решение

A workaround option is to set the refresh extract schedule to run more frequently. 

Use one of the following workarounds, which involve embedding the views in a webpage.

Option 1

  1. Select the :refresh URL parameter
  2. In the <head> section of the web page, add <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="#">, where # is the number of seconds between refreshes

Option 2 

  1. Use the refreshDataAsync () method of the Tableau JavaScript API with the setInterval() method, which is equivalent to clicking on the Refresh Data toolbar button
Дополнительные ресурсы

Both the :refresh URL parameter and the refreshDataAsync () method clear any cache and retrieve the latest information from the data source.
