When are queries sent to a data source?
Analytics is now Insights
All of the Analytics capabilities of the app remain unchanged. You can continue using your existing dashboards, charts, and smart links alongside the new Rovo-powered features. These features combine work and data context to provide reliable answers, create a shared understanding of data, and build dashboards that your team can depend on.
New queries to update your dashboard’s cache are only sent to your original data source when one of the following occurs:
A dashboard is opened and is being viewed (depending on the “refresh dashboard” setting)
A dashboard subscription is being generated
The cache is expired and a person refreshes the dashboard
Someone runs an ad-hoc query
Someone modifies a chart’s query and re-runs the query
Someone manually refreshes the dashboard
Someone manually refreshes a chart
Someone changes the value of a variable control
If none of these criteria are met, new queries are not sent from your dashboard to your original data source.
Sending new queries requires using your data source’s resources. If your data source receives too many queries at one time, some or many of those queries may timeout, leading to the performance issues you’re experiencing.
