Hi All
So we all know that Design Studio is to be the replacement for Xcelsius, I for one welcome that replacement however there is one fundamental piece of functionality missing for me and I would like to know if anyone has managed to get around it!
So in Xcelsius we could set the refresh parameter to refresh the data however often we wanted which is great for creating dashboards to display on TV's around the business etc.
In Design Studio this is not so easy, I have come across a few problems which I shall list below.
1. No refresh parameters - It was suggested to use the Timer component from the SDK to trigger a refresh on the time event. There is a slight problem with this scenario because Universe Datasource connections cannot be refreshed using the DS_1.reloadData() command.
2. Content is published to the BI Portal (In xcelsius we could export to swf and do whatever we wanted with it!) Now I open this up via the Launchpad to display on a Business TV and leave it running to autorefresh after 5 minutes or so it gets hit by the Auto Timeout parameter set in the CMC.
My question to you all is have you found another way to do this with Design Studio?
It needs to be fully automated once its open, we don't expect users to have to click prompts to continue the session etc. Also it would be good if we could reload data from Universe's, I Will look on the ideas place and submit something if this is not already on there.
