Refresh Time

By default, the report is built:

  • When you load reports into the viewer;

  • When you switch from the report designer to the Preview tab;

  • When you click the Refresh button on the preview tab.

In this case, to rebuild the report, you need some action from the user. To rebuild a report automatically at a specified time interval, you should set the Refresh Time report property to:

  • One of the predefined values ​​from seconds to hours;

After the specified interval, the report will be automatically rebuilt.
