01
Source data changes
Your team continues working in the connected tool they already know.
Automatic Data Updates
Keep every dashboard up to date
Schedule connected data to refresh in the background. Your tables, charts, and KPIs stay current while you focus on decisions—not repetitive imports.
Fresh data without the busywork
Your report should not go stale between check-ins
Manually re-importing data creates a quiet gap between what happened in your source and what stakeholders see in a dashboard. It also turns every recurring report into another item on your calendar.
Automatic updates pull new values from supported connections on your chosen schedule. The data changes; the dashboard, calculations, filters, and share link stay in place.
Scheduled dashboard refreshes
Set it up in four simple steps
Connect a live source once, choose the right cadence, and let Dashbreeze keep the report moving.
- 01
Connect your source
Bring in data from a supported live integration such as Google Sheets.
- 02
Create your table
Select the data you need and use it across charts, metrics, gauges, and filters.
- 03
Choose a schedule
Turn on automatic updates and select how often the connection should refresh.
- 04
Stay current
New source values flow into the dashboards and reports that use the table.
A dependable reporting rhythm
The latest numbers, already in place
Turn a recurring manual workflow into a dashboard that is ready when your team opens it.
02

Made for recurring reports
Less maintenance. More confidence.
Everything you need to keep connected reporting useful after the dashboard is published.
Save repetitive work
Set a refresh schedule once instead of returning to every table to pull new data by hand.
Keep dashboards current
New source values flow into the tables, charts, KPIs, and gauges that already use them.
See update activity
Check when a source last refreshed and confirm that your dashboard is working with current information.
Choose your frequency
Match the update schedule to how quickly your source changes and how often the report is viewed.
Stay in control
Keep the option to refresh manually whenever you need fresh data before the next scheduled update.
Build once, reuse continuously
Create the dashboard once and let each successful refresh update the same polished report.
Manual when needed, automatic by default
A schedule that fits the pace of your data
Fast-moving operational reports and slower monthly scorecards do not need the same cadence. Choose an available frequency for each supported connection, then trigger a manual refresh whenever timing matters.
- Configure updates independently for each connected table
- Refresh manually at any time
- Keep the last imported data available if a refresh fails

Frequently asked questions
Automatic data updates with Dashbreeze
Answers about supported sources, schedules, manual refreshes, and what happens to your dashboards.
What are automatic data updates?+
Automatic data updates refresh a connected Dashbreeze table from its original source on a schedule. Dashboards using that table then display the newly imported values without requiring you to rebuild them.
Which data sources support automatic updates?+
Automatic updates are available for supported connected sources such as Google Sheets and other live integrations. Uploaded file sources are refreshed manually because Dashbreeze cannot detect a newer local file until you upload it.
Can I choose how often my data updates?+
Yes. You can select from the refresh frequencies available for your connected source and plan. This makes it possible to balance freshness with the update cadence your report actually needs.
Can I still refresh data manually?+
Yes. A scheduled connection can still be refreshed manually when you need the latest values before its next automatic update.
Do I need to rebuild my dashboard after an update?+
No. Existing charts, KPIs, gauges, tables, and filters continue to use the connected table, so refreshed values appear in the dashboard you already built.
What happens if an automatic update fails?+
The previous imported data remains available, and the update status helps you identify that the latest refresh did not complete. You can correct the source connection and try again.
