Enabling Asynchronous Updates

You can create SVG and Flash charts that monitor information by enabling the Asynchronous Update attribute on the Chart attributes page. Enabling this attribute updates the chart to reflect changes in the underlying data within a specified time interval.

To enable asynchronous updates:

1. Create an SVG or Flash chart. See "Creating a SVG Chart" or "Creating a Flash Chart".

2. Navigate to the Page Definition. See "Accessing a Page Definition".

3. Under Regions, click Chart next to the region name.

   The Chart Attributes page appears.

4. Scroll down to Refresh.

5. From Asynchronous Update, select Yes.

6. In Update Interval (Seconds), enter the interval in seconds between chart updates. For optimal performance, select an interval that is greater than 2 seconds.

When Asynchronous Update is enabled for an SVG chart, a timestamp displays on the chart indicating the last update.

To disable the Asynchronous Update timestamp:

1. Navigate to the Chart Attributes page.

2. Locate the CSS section.

3. From Use Custom CSS, select Yes.

4. In Custom CSS, Inline edit #timestamp as follows:

   #timestamp{display:none;}
