Collections are often used as filters on status selectors, though to refresh a collection in the Web UI you must go to the collection directly to refresh it in Web UI without going to the collection directly. This can be accomplished by going to the collection content screen directly or via a scheduled bulk update. Using a scheduled bulk update you can control the amount and frequency of the collection refresh processes.
For more information on status selectors, see the Status Selector Homepage Widget topic in the Workflows in Web UI section of the Web User Interfaces / Web UI Setup and User Guide documentation here.
Important: Consider the time zone of the application server compared to that of the workbench (the client) where the schedule is created or viewed. When scheduling a job, the local time zone is displayed in the workbench, but the time zone of the server is used to run the background process. Although displayed, the time zone of the client is not included in the instruction to the server to run the job. This can cause confusion about when the job will run since the scheduled time is not automatically converted to accommodate potential differences in time zones.
To schedule a collection refresh, follow the directions below:
In the Operations step, close the default operation template to remove all operations. This will enable the action buttons so that you can proceed with no operation selected.
Once complete, this will trigger the update, but it does not actually execute any changes. You may view the background process, or close the dialog prompt.
Select the relevant collection, check the refresh option, and select the bulk update configuration that you just created in the previous steps.
Repeat steps 5-8 as needed to schedule auto-refreshes for additional collections.
