Data Refresh - Space Tools

Overview

Pages and blog posts automatically update their data for the following document management reports

However, sometimes the data is not updated if there were some unexpected errors or there was a lack of edit permissions by the user that triggered the update itself.

In those cases, the data in the space for the reports can be manually populated by running a space-level job using the Refresh Data screen in the space tools Document Management dashboard.

This option complements the option to run the space level data refresh of page workflow properties through the URL.

For Comala Document Management v7.2.3 and earlier, this screen is named Report Data Population.

When would I want to use this?

The data refresh option can be used to populate space properties data for the workflow properties for your pages and blog posts in a space if there are unexpected errors in Comala Document Management reports and report macros.

In addition to a whole space refresh of data, each workflow report and report macro (from v7.3.0) includes an option to Refresh Data for the report whilst viewing the report.
