Auto Refresh
This feature will refresh the view automatically from the database after specified interval of time. When this button is pressed, a dialog box similar to the one shown below will open up.
Figure 2: Auto Refresh Form
Check the check box in the above figure if you want to have the auto refresh feature. When the checkbox is checked, you can also specify the number of seconds after which your view would be refreshed.
One thing that must be kept in mind regarding the Auto Refresh feature is that if you have set a very large value of the page size and a very small time interval after which the page should refresh, then the performance of the Auto Refresh feature might not be good. The reason is that the previous records will not be brought yet from the database when the time for the next refresh comes and then it goes back to the database to fetch the fresh records once again.
We strongly recommend using small page values for the view for which you intend to use Auto Refresh feature so that the above mentioned problem is not encountered.
Select All
Selects all the rows that are present in the data grid.
Row View
If you want to see the details of any row, simply select that row and press the "Row View" button in the Event View's tool bar. The second option is that you double click on that row whose details are required. Another form will open up which will show you the details of that event. For details about this form, please read Row View Form.
