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.

I am able to refresh an old style homepage with a code page with this code
<script>
setTimeout(function(){
parent.location.reload(1);
}, 1800000);
</script>

 

Then I put a webpage widget on an Old style dashboard with this code to call the code page

In my use case I actually want to show a new style dashboard in auto refresh mode so what I did is I put a webpage widget suffix with &IFV=1 has an embedded webpage pointing to the new dashboard but embedded on an old dashboard because it seems that only the old dashboards will refresh

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?

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;
