Refresh Sharepoint list with timer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by stephenjcarr 138

Hi 

 

I have a Gallery which pulls its data from a Sharepoint list "NCL Build Schedule" 

I current have a button to refresh the data by using: 
Refresh('NCL Build Schedule')

 

I would like to change this so it automatically refreshes the data every 3 minutes. 

Trying to do this with a timer.

 

Can anyone help please?

    Hi,
    (Edited response)

    Put out a timer somewhere on the screen, and set the following properties:

    • Duration > 3 min (in milliseconds)
    • Repeat > True (To make sure it loops)
    • OnTimerStart > Refresh('NCL Build Schedule') 
    • AutoStart > True (To start the timer automaticly)

    Hope it helps!

    Hi @Devvj - Just one more thing with this please. 

    How would I set it so the timer only starts on a specific screen, and stops if i move to a different screen?

     

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think you could leverage the property "Start" and "Stop" on the timer to fix that.
    Trigger the Stop-property in the same place that you Navigate to the other pages, then again trigger the Start-property when you navigate back.

    Hope that helps
