Archibus Smart Client
Refreshing the Display of Data
Use the Refresh command to refresh the display of data in the currently displayed grid. You invoke the Refresh command by selecting Grid/Refresh from the Ribbon.
Purpose: Use this command to update grids and reports with changes made to data. You may wish to regenerate your documents in the following situations:
- After creating new records, you want to re-sort the records and display them in a logical order.
- You have edited a record, which causes the program to clear the previously calculated values that depend on this record; refreshing recalculates the values.
- You want to ensure that reports reflect the most recent changes made by other users on the network.
- When you are simultaneously running Archibus Smart Client and the Archibus Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD and you want to ensure that asset data presented in Archibus report and grid windows reflects changes made by editing drawings.
The Refresh command refreshes the current grid or report by requerying the underlying project database. If this is a drill-down grid, this command collapses the detail levels. The detail levels will be requeried when you expand them.
