    Hello Gurus--

    I'm working on cognos reports/widgets. I have few reports and using them I want to build widgets.Basically I want to present group of users a widget on home screen or dashboard.

    I tried to build dashboards with existing report studio reports but I am not sure if dashboards can take multiple reports as source

    Now for workspace > Widgets, how can i set auto refresh every 5 minutes ?
    Do I need to write any html refresh code like Setting auto refresh in a Cognos report

    Any input on how to set auto refresh for widgets or reports? Thank you .

    I believe in CA 11.1.X there is custom control for auto refresh. There is code written javascript i.e <install_dir>webcontent\bi\samples\js\Autorefresh

    In CA 11, Dashboard have feature property to set auto refresh. Additionally, Data Cache for required queries can be defined at Data Module level.

    Thank you @Buddhi Gupta. I have used the dashboard auto refresh in the past but  ​my use case right now is to create a widget dashboard for few users .
    The source is from 4 reports. I don't want to rewrite reports. I tried widgets and it works great, only concern is auto refresh.

    @Sanjay Chakravarty.

    Thank you for the reply. I haven't used the java scripts for reports/Widgets. Do you have any example so I can try ? thanks in advance.​
