We have recently upgraded to Kinetic from Epicor 10.1. We have a lot of Dashboards that refresh on a timer. Although I can run the upgraded kinetic dashboards, they don’t run a timer. I have been told that with application studio, I should be able to add a dashboard-timer-set event. How would I use this to refresh a dashboard every 10 seconds? I can’t find this in any or the Application Studio user guides.
Hi Alisa,
Thanks for replying.
I am aware of the event in Application studio, but I can’t work out how to use it in a simple dashboard that I want to refresh every x seconds.
Do you have an example in use?
Regards
Ian
I played around with this and got it to work. I made a button to start the timer and the timer executes the BAQ to refresh the grid. After getting the timer to work I’m switching the trigger point to start the timer when the app is open so you don’t get multiple timers going.
I can provide more details if needed but the timer basically kicks off in the interval of milliseconds. So for every X seconds you want X000.00 in the box. It will repeat itself so you don’t need to restart the timer.

Hello jsmuland, are you able to provide more details on this, I am trying to do the same thing but cant figure this out.
Thank you
Sure, where should I start? Do you have both events created one for the timer and one for the BAQ refresh?
I do not have either of those, I am not very good with events lol.
I’m not very good with events either so I’m not sure of all the best practices.
Do you have the application started with a grid and a BAQ pulled in?
Event 1: get the BAQ info. This will run each time the timer goes off.
It is a no trigger new event where you bring in the erp-baq widget.
Identify your BAQ to run and which dataview to dump it into.
The filter on the end is to filter the BAQ to specific user settings for site. You may not need this if you have all your filtering done in the BAQ or use parameters.
Event 2: the timer.
Trigger it after event after window. This seems to start it after the app is loaded. Its worked for me without fail so far.
Link the dashboard-timer-set widget using the time you want and the event created above.
I use the console-writes for testing and just left it in.

Thank you I will try this out,
So I do not need the console write in either picture?
Correct, if you are having issues it might be good to add it later for troubleshooting, like if you decide to use a different trigger like a button. Let me know how it goes.
Hey Josh,
No luck it doesn’t seem to be working
Strange I had it working but had a dialog box as part of the called event just to verify it was running. I took it out, reconnected the line and now it doesnt seem to be working. Dang. So close to being done.
Pity as it was updating the fields I needed it to. I just wanted the dialog gone.
