   2. Select an application.
   3. Select a page.
   Page Designer appears.

25.5.3 Enabling Automatic Updates

You can create map charts that monitor information by enabling the Asynchronous Update attribute on the Map Attributes page. Enabling this attribute updates the map to reflect changes in the underlying data within a specified time interval.

To enable automatic refresh:

1. View the page in Page Designer:
   1. On the Workspace home page, click the App Builder icon.
   2. Select an application.
   3. Select a page.
   Page Designer appears.
2. In the Rendering tab, select the region that contains the map chart.
3. In the Property Editor, select the Attributes tab.
4. Find Automatic Refresh.
   1. Automatic Refresh - Select On.
   2. Interval - Enter the interval in seconds between chart updates.

   Note:

   Oracle discourages very small updates intervals, such as 2 seconds, since they may cause serious database performance issues.
