IndustraForms can display information from external data sources (for example, from a process historian or DCS). This information can be shown as values, charts, or sparklines.

Select Refresh Data to retrieve the most recent data points.

To schedule the refresh of external data, select Scheduled Refresh. A tooltip indicates how frequently the data is refreshed. The form is refreshed according to the schedule when at least one browser has the form open. It stops when nobody is viewing the form.

The scheduled refresh defaults to every 10 minutes, but can be adjusted in the yml file of the IndustraForm template. The timer starts after the most recent data refresh, and the timer is reset by a manual refresh.
