How to Enable Auto-Refresh in the Bold Reports Viewer When Modifying Parameter Values

Published:

Updated:

The auto-refresh option allows the ReportViewer to refresh automatically when parameter values are modified, eliminating the need to manually click the View Report button.

Steps to implement auto-refresh:

Create a simple JavaScript Report Viewer.
To enable auto-refresh functionality, develop a function that continually monitors changes in parameter values by comparing the current value to the previous one. If the values do not match, initiate a request for report refresh and adjust the last checked value. Schedule the next check after a designated interval using the setTimeout method.

           }).data("boldReportViewer");

           // Auto-refresh function
           function checkParameterChange() {
               var currentValue = $("#viewer_Param_101").val();
               if (currentValue !== checkParameterChange.lastValue) {
                   $("#viewer_viewReportClick").click();
                   checkParameterChange.lastValue = currentValue;
               }
               setTimeout(checkParameterChange, 1000); // Schedule next check
           }

           // Initial check
           checkParameterChange();
       });
