Configuring Views and Context 111
Configuring Views
refresh interval property of any view. The policy for refreshing views is as
follows:
• Children views that are not marked as monitors refresh at the rate of their
ancestor.
• Children views that are marked as monitors but are set to refresh at less than
the rate of their ancestor still refresh at the rate of their ancestor.
• Children views that are marked as monitors whose refresh rate is more
frequent than their ancestors refresh at their own rate.
• Children views marked as monitors but whose input timeRange do not have an
idea of now (the current time) do not get refreshed. For a child page’s
timeRange to have a notion of now it must be passed a timeRange.
Note Note that monitor purpose affects the type of label that you see in the center of the
page header as seen in the following policy code:
• Page — A page is a view that is designed to be used as a page – one that is drilled
down to from another page or dashboard or portlet.
• Pagelet — A pagelet is a view that is designed to be added to a page or dashboard.
• Portlet — A portlet is a view that is designed to be added to a portal.
• Report — A report does not require any input. The filtered list of views that you
can add to a report can contain any view that is purposed as a reportlet as long as
the Report contains the appropriate context to make the view useful. Scheduled
reports that have been generated appear in the Reports view.
• Reportlet — A reportlet is a view that is designed to be added to a report.
• Portal — A page that a user can customize by dragging views on to it. The filtered
list of views that you can add to a portal can contain any view that is purposed as
a portlet as long as the portal contains the appropriate context to make the view
useful.
