    Study Notes

    Data Refresh Intervals for Dashboards

    • Dashboards: Set refresh intervals (defaults to never).
    • Reports: No automatic refresh, but pages are cached.
    • SQL Query Results: Cached with a 15-minute refresh rate.

    Factors Affecting Refresh Intervals

    1. Data Freshness

    • Data Sensitivity: Time-sensitive data (e.g., stock prices, real-time sales) requires frequent refreshes.
    • Data Volume: Larger datasets may require longer refresh intervals to prevent performance issues.
    • Data Source Limitations: Limits on how often data sources can be queried influence refresh strategies.

    2. User Needs

    • Frequency of Use: Frequent use by decision-makers benefits from shorter intervals.
    • Level of Detail: High-level summaries need less frequent updates than detailed dashboards.
    • User Preferences: Allow users to manually refresh or adjust intervals.

    3. System Performance

    • Server Load: Frequent refreshes increase server load, especially with complex queries or large datasets.
    • Network Latency: Network delays affect data retrieval and processing time.
    • Dashboard Complexity: More complex dashboards with numerous visualizations may require longer refresh rates.

    4. Resource Utilization

    • Database Queries: Frequent queries strain database resources.
    • Data Processing: Data transformation and processing consume significant resources.

    5. Security and Privacy

    • Data Exposure: Frequent refreshes may expose sensitive data to unauthorized access.
    • Security Protocols: Protect data during transmission and processing with security measures.

    Best Practices for Refresh Intervals

    • Dynamic Refresh: Update data only when users interact, reducing unnecessary overhead.
    • Caching: Store frequently accessed data to improve performance and reduce data source load.
    • Optimized Queries: Write efficient SQL queries to reduce execution time.
    • Load Balancing: Distribute traffic across multiple servers to handle increased load.
    • User Notifications: Inform users of data updates or errors.
    • Performance Monitoring: Continuously monitor dashboard performance and adjust refresh intervals as needed.
