Is it possible to have a report update automatically in real time? I created a report that shows statistics in our facility but I cannot get it to properly update in real time. I created a new tag group set to direct with a rate of 250 ms. Maybe a report isn't the best to do this. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
No, reports are static documents. You have to re-run them to get new data. But, a report viewer that has property bindings that are changing can cause a report to re-run. Be aware that you can crush your gateway doing that--report generating is a pretty heavy-weight computational task.
If this is related to your other topic, consider using a table with static rows and bindings for your values in the right spots.

Ahh gotcha. Thanks for the response! I think I'll just make a table in a new Vision window using the drawing tools. Kind of a bummer that I spent so much time working on the report but I did learn a lot.
I don't work in Vision anymore but you should be able to create a data set in a script and then bind that to a table component. Then add a report print button to use your already generated report.
