Refresh Code Page

Good day everyone!

I'm trying to set up a way to automate a page refresh. Previously we were using an HTML code page with

<script>
  setTimeout(function(){
     parent.location.reload(1);
  }, 60000);
</script>

 

This worked for a little bit, but stopped working some months ago. I added the code as a web page url as instructed in previous Qcrew discussions. However now it just states 

"We can't find what you were looking for. Either it has been deleted, or the link that brought you here is wrong."

Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm trying to use it as a workflow solution that auto updates our main page that's a Kaban Report to display on a bigger screen for the work force.

    That sounds like there is a problem with the URL the page goes to after the refresh occurs. What is the page you are trying to refresh?

      Thanks for the reply Denin!

      It's a dashboard I'm trying to refresh. It holds multiple Kanban reports for various types of tickets we do.

        The good news is I did this for a client. Refreshing a new style dashboard. The bad news is I don't remember how I did it so when I get a chance, maybe tonight I will look back and reverse engineer how I did it.

    Denin is probably on to something. Have you tried forcing it to go to the dashboard location instead of just doing a refresh?

    const parentURL = window.parent.location;
    // or
    // const parentURL = 'yourdashboardURL';
    parent.location.href = parentURL;

      Hey John thanks for the reply!

       

      I'm feeling a little silly, how would I go about implementing this? Would this fully replace my above coding? Or would it be added onto it?

        You'd do it like this:

        <script>
        setTimeout(function(){
            const parentURL = window.parent.location;
            parent.location.href = parentURL;
        }, 60000);
        </script>

        Alternatively, you'd use this, but replace yourdashboardURL with the URL of your Dashboard (i.e. https://domain.quickbase.com/nav/app/appid/action/appoverview). Either should work, but since there seems to be an issue with the redirect, I'd try to force it to a specific URL instead of just doing a reload.

        <script>
        setTimeout(function(){
            const parentURL = 'yourdashboardURL';
            parent.location.href = parentURL;
        }, 60000);
        </script>
