Trigger

The Trigger control is a non-visual helper that executes dashboard actions at timed intervals while the dashboard is open: for example refreshing data or navigating between dashboards without any user interaction. It’s useful for automatic dashboard rotation or periodic data updates.

Setting	Required	Description
Elapsed time	Yes	The interval, in seconds, between each execution.
Max trigger count	No	Limits how many times the trigger executes. Left unset, it keeps running until the dashboard is closed.

The first execution happens after the first elapsed interval, and then repeats on that interval: indefinitely, or until Max trigger count is reached. The control doesn’t support data mappings, since it’s purely a timed execution mechanism, and while it technically allows linking to other controls, that link has no functional purpose and shouldn’t be used.

Tips

• Use a reasonable elapsed time to avoid triggering too often.
• Combine with navigation actions to build automated dashboard rotation.
• Only set Max trigger count when you actually need a finite number of executions.
