Advanced Options Explained

Overview

In this article, we will talk about what Advance Options are available and their uses. These can be seen when you are creating a dashboard or simply editing one. Keep in mind that these are optional and not mandatory when creating or editing a dashboard.

Under Advanced Options we have:

Dashboard Refresh (optional)

We advise leaving the refresh rate as 0 to pull fresh data each time you load the dashboard. If you want your dashboard to auto-refresh while viewing, set the refresh frequency in seconds (we recommend no less than 60 seconds).

If your use case is to display a dashboard on a big screen or public monitor, using the Display Mode feature is better than setting a refresh in this location. [link on display mode here]

Here is a more in-depth article on Dashboard Refresh.

Fast Cache Refresh (optional)

Determines how often the dashboard should refresh. A good default setting is 1440 minutes, which equates to a daily update.

Here is a more in-depth article on Fast Cache Refresh.

Allow Anonymous

This allows the dashboard to be viewed by a "Guest" user or anonymous user with no login needed, but all the reports on the dashboard should also be in allow anonymous.

Allow embedding

This lets users embed the dashboard onto a webpage, either through a direct link or an iFrame code.

Note: You can select one, both, or leave them unchecked.

 Once you have configured the Advance Options to your liking, click Save & Apply.
