It very annoying having to re-draw every dashboard that uses a specific report. It would be nice having automatic refresh of the dashboard tile when I change a report involved.

How can i make sure the 'hard selected filters' won't interact with the tile i want to place on the dashboard when the tile(card visual in my situation) is placed on a report page that is using hard filters?

Kind regards,

Pim

1 trick...Pin a live report page to your dashboard this will drive the dashboard to automatically refresh.
But If you tiles still don't refresh its probably because you have 'hard selected' filters on them. Trick create a measure that dynamically updates with no need to select hard filters then these will also update.

When we can expect the time of completion? Much irritating every time we are pining visuals to the Dashboard :(

RE: Refresh dashboards tiles when i change a report

I have a dashboard set up for management that I wanted to update every month after new financial data comes in. I have pinned some graphs and visuals to the dashboard. As I got new data, I was expecting to see the graphs and visuals changing. So I made a change to the visual on a report, and the dashboard hasn't updated to reflect the change, the visual is still the same. It takes a lot of time to pin the new visuals to the dashboard, edit them (same as the previous months graph was edited) and delete the old visual. It's just tedious.

I can see why someone would want a static visual on their dashboard, but i believe the majority would want to have dynamic visuals... Can't it be an option when pinning: static or dynamic pinning? This would help a lot.

I'm surprised there aren't more votes on this... maybe because it's marked as started and people don't want to waste votes on something that's being worked on? I can see this started in November 2015. It's now Feb 2017, and still no update on this matter... Please, update us.

'+1 on this, it should be possible to hard link tiles with the report so that changes in report layout automatically is done on the dashboard also.

There is alot of redudant work at the moment because we have to update the dashboard all the time......
