Refresh a request
Refresh requests after you update them with edits, filters, or you need to view more recent data. You can select several requests in a worksheet and refresh them all at the same time.
If you increase a request’s date range and then refresh the request, Report Builder adds cells to accommodate the added number of time periods.
-
Create and run a request.
-
After you change the request, right-click the request, then choose Refresh Request from the shortcut menu. (Alternatively, click in the request, then click Refresh in the toolbar.)
The system displays the Refresh Requests form:
Now Date: The date on which you want to base the refresh. Also known as the As Of date.
Set to Current date on Future Refresh Actions: Enabling this option tells Report Builder to always use the current date as the Now (or As Of) date. You can revert this setting by clicking Options in the toolbar.
-
Click OK.
When a refresh is successful, the system reports this with a green icon on the Request Manager.
