Badges have a refresh seconds, why don't tiles?

BLOMASKY

I am starting to embrace tiles, and I have some tiles with daily totals (i.e. XXX Orders Today). It would be nice to have the tiles refresh every X seconds. Is that possible?

Thanks

After you create the tile, the ‘Content Panel’ has more options like ‘Auto-refresh info’.

Thanks Bob. My old eyes must have missed that.

Is this working?
I added some tiles to my dashboard to show the number of logged in users and have an Tile with Text entry «COUNT StaffLog WHERE (StaffLog.Status=‘Online’)». The initial values loads fine and display the users but thereafter no updates.

I added a Refresh automatically every 30 seconds on the Auto-refresh info page as seen earlier in the post and can see a request in Tomcat Output (see below) but nothing updates on the tile until page reload? Even tried it with the CRM program and same.

Tomcat output …
Got XML request <root><refresh_panel_action vp_name=“Administrator” frame_type=“main” tab_name=“DashBoard” panel_name=“TilesStaff” /></root>

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Any assistance appreciated.

I did something similar to see who was logged in. The problem is that if the user just closes the browser, Tomcat doesn’t recognize it, and they continue to show as logged in.
I have not found a way around this. I think some said you have to use some JS to check Tomcat for active users. I did check with AwareIM support and they did say that AwareIM does not interact with Tomcat if a user closes the browser to see who is loggedin. They must Log out to get the logout notification.
If you find a solution, I would be interested in seeing it.

You could use Login events and Logout events to record users logging in and out. A LogoutNotification is also sent when the session times out, so when a user closes the browser there is no immediate notification but eventually the session will time out and a LogoutNotification is sent. I am using this to create a log for users logging in and out, the LogoutNotification has the following rule:

IfTESTING_MODE() <> 'Yes'ANDINDEX_OF('BAS_Guest', LogoutNotification.LoginName) = 0ANDLogoutNotification.IsTimeout = 'No'ThenCREATE AuditLogWITHAuditLog.Unit = 'Logout', AuditLog.Message = 'User '+LogoutNotification.LoginName + ' logged out'

ElseIf TESTING_MODE() <> 'Yes'ANDINDEX_OF('BAS_Guest', LogoutNotification.LoginName) = 0ANDLogoutNotification.IsTimeout = 'Yes'ThenCREATE AuditLogWITHAuditLog.Unit = 'Logout', AuditLog.Message = 'User '+LogoutNotification.LoginName + ' session TimeOut'

(The reason for checking TestingMode is that I don’t want to clogg the Log table in my testing environment, and the reason for testing against Bas_Guest is that I experienced that when someone calls the login page, this can already fire the LoginNotification with the Bas_Guest name even though there is no actual login yet.)

I am currently just logging, but with a little effort you could maintain a table of users who are logged in. It would not be 100% accurate because it would still show users who closed their browser but have not yet timed out, but if you set the Session Timeout value to a short period it would be pretty close.

nhofkes one problem is users. Hate a short time out. They don’t want to take a 30 minute break inside their office for a meeting and come back and have to login again. So most of my customers want much longer timeouts.

And version 10 might be triggering the fake guest Login because of the JSP login page.

But just hitting an HTML login page doesn’t make a guest login.
