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.
