Please if you add it back make it as an option, I don't want viewers to refresh my reports for performance reasons on the backend

I believe that this question is related to ID 62371417. Would not it be better to keep everything in one issue?

Acredito que essa questão esteja relacionada ao ID 62371417. Não seria melhor manter tudo em uma única questão?

Without refresh or auto refresh plugin option for view only users, the basic purpose of displaying real time data dashboard is defeated.  To enable refresh providing edit option to our clients is a risk we have to deal in revealing other unnecessary information in Data resources.

I would make an option in the Sharing Advanced Option Popup like

"⎕ Allow Viewers to refresh the data of this report"

Which means the Administrator can decide, if the viewers are allowed to refresh the data.

+1 to past comment!

Please Update this issue

I agree. This is really important for my clients/merchants who need to see data refreshed after adding it to a Google Spreadsheet. Super keen to see this option!!

Please update this issue! Thanks. Super agree.

+1 for this, much needed. Or even better to implement refreshing intervals so the data would be automatically refreshed.

+1 i need this  !!

This is a critical feature or we will be forced to move to another product, such as Tableau, which allows real-time refresh of data.

We need this feature like yesterday to continue with the product. Making it optional is fine, so admins can allow end users to refresh or not to refresh. It could be a pallet control or a report option.

Re-enabling Report Refresh for Report Viewers
Bev Lauerman
AGMM Costco Wholesale Corporate office

We have Forms on Fire digital reports in use in all warehouses.  We are a Google house so we used the Google Data Studio to create reporting over the data from  the forms which are in Google Sheets and Google MySQL.  When we started this process the Google Data Studio reports dashboards over the data was real time .
When the end user opened the report it refreshed the "real time data" from our Forms on Fire digital forms. Someone at Google decided to make a change in the program and only allow the owner of the report to refresh the data. Not smart.  What is the cost of this thoughtless decision?  Every report has to be open on a computer 24/365 and physically refreshed.during the day that is $385 per hour, $800,000 annually

We want to be able to select a checkbox in the setup process which causes the Google Data Studio report to "auto refresh" .otherwise we will move our Forms on Fire data out of Google onto another platform and start using Tableau reporting.instead of Data Studio.


.

This is a must!

this is a must. Using BigQuery and Data studio data is not at all refreshed for users with View mode. This is absolutely mandatory requirement.
Even better provide options to users who can refresh and who can't

+1 lack of this function is the only reason making us stick with Tableau rather than moving to GDS.

+1 I also suggest the following admin settings (the first two with the highest priority):
- real-time refresh*
- intervals to refresh data for flexibility (# of minutes, # of hours, then select start time, then select which days/wks/months)*
- allow all editors to refresh
- allow only certain editors to refresh

I agree this is absolutely needed to make data studio a real competitor in the market.  As a xoogler, this is killing valuable productivity time in our startup to refresh dashboards manually daily for our 30 customers - currently at 3 per customer per day and expecting to go to 6 per customer per day shortly.  Having this feature would ensure there is trust in our analytics in the eye of the end user and customer.  We also plan to use data studio internally for our operations across all teams.  We are ready to move from Tableau to Data Studio for everything once this feature is in place.

+1 This is absolutely critical to making useful dashboards where business decisions need to be based on the most up-to-date data. This coupled with the slow loading time of data feeding through from Google Sheets are the only issues I have with what will be an incredibly powerful and useful product. Right now, for me at least, clients can't make the most of their dashboards as data is constantly lagging behind its source.

To the person in comment #19. We too had a Google Sheet with over 30k rows, which took about 10 seconds to load. We moved that data to Google Cloud SQL (MySQL database) and the load time is less than 1 second. The slowness your are experiencing is likely Google Sheets and not DataStudio.

If a view only user cannot refresh the data then I can not take Data Studio into Live Production in my Company.
I do not want end users changing the Charts that my IT Department creates. End Users do not have the knowledge of the product and the data sources to be effective. I thought what would be the reason for View Only.
Let the experts do the dirty work for the end users and let the end users use the provided information to make business decisions. That being said, End Users must have up to date information to make Business Decisions. Without that then what is the point of all of this? I can understand in certain circumstances you may want to make the data static so an option for that could be helpful as mentioned by someone above but that would be rare.

PLEASE GIVE VIEW ONLY Users the ability to refresh the data. Would also be GREAT for a way to have an option for the data to REFRESH automatically when the page is first loaded if possible.

Even better if there were a way to schedule the refresh of data sources if that will also update all of the reports associated to that datasource.

+1 my manager can't refresh the data, and it wouldn't be a good idea to give them write access.

Also, a feature to set automatic refresh of data source in custom specified intervals would be really helpful!

OOO Message - DELETED

+1 for this feature - this would be extremely helpful.
It's hard to imagine many dashboards which *wouldn't* require data refreshes due to consistent use, so this should surely be a mandatory feature?

This has been a large amount of trouble within my organization when data keeps getting reset to old cached data, even after changing data sources. This could all be fixed if the view-only users could just refresh the database themselves. Or just have auto-refreshing options that work.

Thank you.

definitely  a showstopper for us. If this can be added I could create a lot more dashboards

Absolutely need an option for the viewer to refresh.. I'm sure there was a reason it was disabled, but it needs to at least be optional for all of us who need it! Please! Love GDS, but this is a huge problem right now. The ONLY problem <3

Adding the option for view only users, can refresh yes/no, while sharing the report, would be very helpful, pls add. Thx.

Please add viewer refresh option.

I want to create dashboards for clients that have only view rights, but I don't want to sit there multiple times each day to MANUALLY refresh data for them.

This feature REALLY needs to be included. It is a no-brainer.

+1 please! Absolutely need viewers to be able to refresh. Adding as an option seems to be a win for everyone here.

This issue does not appear in the DataStudio issues list for some reason - i guess its been decided that they are not going to release this feature.

+1 I have a couple of customers constantly asking for this

+1 for this feature

An option much like "Enable Cache" would be most appropriate.  For live data reports this would be a big help, but for a expensive report this would be a bad thing.

+1 please add this in.

+1 Important feature

Please please. Add this feature.

Indispensable poder dar permiso de actualización a determinados visores, ya que en muchos casos los visores son quienes modifican datos en la fuente de datos y necesitan comprobar el impacto en gráficos, tablas etc de los informes.
Hasta hace un mes aproximadamente utilizábamos la extensión Auto Refresh pero ha dejado de funcionar en algunos ordenadores y no sabemos cómo solucionarlo.
Por favor activar esta funcionalidad aunque sea controlado por el propietario del informe que pueda asignar el permiso de actualización a determinados Visores.

+1 Yes , I too am having issues with this - embarrassing to have to explain it to internal adopters. Painful blow to my efforts to get adoption.

..

I think this issue is in a deactivated state or something, I tried searching for this issue #id but nothing turns up.

Also, given that it has 72 stars, it should ideally have come at the top of the list.

As said somewhere up in the thread, I believe the best way to implement this feature back, is to add the possibility to choose whether to give or not the permission to viewers refresh the data source.
Also being able to define how often a source is updated would be great.

+1 view-only users need to be able to refresh the data. Tx!

Not having this function is holding me back from recommending this tool within Nielsen. We are focused on automated workflows; asking users to manually refresh data is not a workable solution for an enterprise reporting platform.
The ask is to give users the ability to manually refresh as a minimum. The need is to create the the ability to schedule report refresh that is automated and flexible where the developer can scheduled the refresh every few minutes to once a year.

I was searching for hours why my shared report doesn't get refreshed. Now I've found this bugreport/feature request. If I have to give my users edit-permissions I could also say to them: "do your reporting on your own" because they'll change (destroy) my reports all day long.

Please add this back. Kind of ridicules that it is not even an option. Why would there not be users who want to view refreshed data.

+1 -- this is one of the biggest WTFs I've ever encountered in software.

+1 – without the ability to automatically refresh the data on a set interval, view access to a report is almost useless (for our usage) when it is not relatively up-to-date. So either viewers need to be able to update the data _or_ editors should determine on what interval the report is refreshed and kept up to date.

+1
this is very much necessary for pulling data using third party connectors. without refresh, the report just goes blank for Salesforce data, so it is either completely useless for users with view permission only, or I need to give everyone edit permission which is too much risk.

+1
This is a must
Kindly enable this opt for viewers

Please enable this critical option. Without it the reporting is pretty much useless. Enabling report editing just to be able to refresh data is absolutely unacceptable for most use cases.

+1 Please give this option to refresh. This thread noww dates back to Jun 17 so would like to know if this is going ahead. Giving an editing option just so they can refresh is just asking for problems.

Yes, need to have another category of permission:

Viewer (no data refreshing)
View & Refresh
Edit

Hope it can auto refresh at its own even if you dont visit the site so that viewers can see real time data.

Kindly enable this feature for viewers
Thank you!

I guess this issue will never be resolved... the initial request post is from 2017. It is a shame that Google is still making efforts to update this product in 2020 while neglecting the key feature it seems to be designed for; providing up to date metrics in a visually pleasing way. Without a Data Refresh option for Viewers, it is only beneficial for Editors. I have users that submit data via a Google Form and then can't see their results for 30 minutes... which often times results in duplicate entries that I have to cleanup.

+1

I need unauthenticated viewers to refresh data, even in full-screen mode... Please add this feature. When will be available? H2 2020 is about to end.......

The data displayed in Data Studio is wrong from time to time without this refresh button. I don't know whether I can rely on the display or not.

Currently, my viewers have no way of refreshing just the data if they change the date range. Calculations are wrong without the refresh as well. Hard browser refresh resets everything.

Please add  refresh button for Datastudio report for user who has view access to that report.

I can see there refresh option for those who has edit access of report.

User who has view access to report and want to refresh the report they need to reload the page but that will remove all filters applied on reports.

This is a must for me. I was so excited to find Data Studio after using Power BI forever, but this really was a frustrating discovery after launching a major tool for my client's team!

Any news on this? Autorefreshing data from a MySQL data source is limited to 1 hour max. Makes no sense...

Thanks

Hi, is this still being looked at ? Or instead if data source cash refresh would actually refresh data while report window is open automatically it would be amazing as well.

Don't know if I'm late to the party, but a nice way to solve this would be adding a custom control that acts as a button to refresh the data. This way viewers could press the button whenever they wanted, and the editor could choose to include such a control or not (as if it was a filter control)

Really important issue - any news?

Thanks
