Programming refreshments
DigDash Enterprise allows you to program the automatic refresh of your data.
Prerequisites
For scheduling to work :
- the scheduler must be started: go to the Configuration -> Server Status page and check the status of the scheduler. If it is stopped, click on .
- the scheduler user must be entered (the same as the supervisor). Initialisation must be done from the Configuration -> Server parameters -> Additional parameters -> Refreshments page. Consult the Refreshments page for more details.
Programming refreshes
Refreshes can be programmed at three levels:
- Information portfolio
- Information Flow
- Data model
By default, refreshes use the Default schedule: automatic triggering every day at 8pm.
You can change the parameters of this default schedule in the Refresh Manager the new settings will apply to new roles created afterwards (they will not apply to existing roles), or create a new schedule.
For a portfolio or a newsfeed, programming is done from the properties side panel in the Flow tab: select the portfolio or the flow in the list and go to the Programming tab in the side panel.
By default, Flows are refreshed and synchronised at the same time as the information portfolio.
For a data model, programming is done from the Refresh tab in the data model configuration window.
For a selection of data models, programming is done from the Configuration of several data models box, displayed by right-clicking and then Edit ... in the context menu.
