Auto Update

The Auto Update feature refreshes the data displayed in a workspace at a set interval. By default, the feature is disabled. You can enable the feature by specifying an interval for the refresh.

The Auto Update field in the upper right corner of a workspace controls the refresh of data in the workspace:

If the feature is enabled, the Auto Update field displays the selected interval:

To turn on refresh, overtype the field with a desired interval, in seconds. To disable the refresh, overtype the interval with Off.

If the interface runs untouched in auto-update mode, it will eventually suspend auto update. A popup informs users that updates have been suspended, and the field displays SUS. The suspend interval is determined by the auto-update interval, so the larger the auto-update value, the longer the time before updating is suspended. The algorithm is n * 6 * 60 * 8, which equals 8 hours when auto update runs at a 10 second interval.

The Auto-Update suspension value can be customized in the user's profile, using the AUTOSUSPEND=nnnn keyword, where nnnn is a number between 0 and 9999. If 0 is specified, the AUTOSUSPEND function is disabled.
