We are excited to announce improvements to our dashboard auto-refresh feature, which now supports: continuous and 10 seconds Add refresh rate to existing options.

Addressing popular customer requests, this upgrade allows both editors and viewers to set up near real-time and real-time data updates, ensuring your dashboards display the latest information with minimal delay. Experience faster data refresh and make timely decisions with improved dashboard functionality.

Dashboard authors can enable the auto-refresh setting and set a minimum time interval to prevent users from setting an auto-refresh interval smaller than the value provided.
The Continuous option should be used with caution. Data will be refreshed every second or after the previous refresh is complete if it takes more than a second.

Resize dashboard tiles using only the keyboard

We’re excited to introduce a new accessibility feature that lets you resize dashboard tiles using only your keyboard.

Press the Tab key to focus on a tile, then use the arrow keys to move the tile.

To resize, hold down Shift and use the arrow keys. Press right to increase width, left to decrease width, down to increase height, and up to decrease height.

This feature improves the accessibility and usability of the ADX Web UI by making it easy to move and resize with the mouse.
