Dash board page auto refresh

Q&A

Hey,

I need an option to refresh the QuickSight dashboard with out manually (for example, by clicking a refresh button or using mouse/keyboard interaction).

I do not mean data refresh — my dataset is already refreshing every 10 minutes.

What I need is a way to reload or refresh the dashboard view itself so that it reflects the latest refreshed data without closing or reopening the page.Is there any built-in option in Amazon QuickSight for this?If not, please suggest the best possible alternative.

Hello Narayana,

Amazon QuickSight does not have a built-in option to automatically refresh the dashboard view itself without manual interaction (like clicking refresh or reloading the page).:

As far as i know , Current Dashboard Behavior

Automatic visual refresh occurs in these scenarios:

  • When you change something that affects visuals (like updating a parameter or filter control)

  • Visuals update every 30 minutes when you switch sheets (default behavior)

  • You can enable “Reload visuals each time I switch sheets” in Analysis Settings for more frequent updates

However, these options still require some form of user interaction (switching sheets, changing filters, etc.).

What You may be able to Control

Data refresh (which you mentioned is already working):

  • Your dataset refreshes every 10 minutes ✓

  • With direct query mode, data automatically refreshes when you open a dashboard

  • With SPICE, you can schedule dataset refreshes

There’s no automatic page/view reload feature to display the refreshed data without user interaction.

I think you may have below alternatives:

  1. Use Direct Query mode instead of SPICE - This automatically queries fresh data each time you interact with the dashboard (though it has a 2-minute query time limit)

  2. Browser-level auto-refresh: Implement a browser extension or JavaScript solution that automatically reloads the page at your desired interval (e.g., every 10 minutes to match your data refresh)

  3. Embedded dashboard with custom refresh: If you’re embedding the QuickSight dashboard in a web application, you could implement automatic page refresh logic in your embedding code

    Hope this helps and gives some idea.

Cheers,

Deep
