Hello all,
I am sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'd love some insight from others. I downloaded the PBIGettingStarted-import solution so that I could experiment and learn more about leveraging the API to get a real-time dashboard.
I was able to tweak it so that it creates my dataset and it can add / remove rows, but the problem is I have to manually click "Refresh" on my reports / dashboard in order to see the changes. When I first tried the sample api solution it would show the data changes instantly...I'm not sure what is different / why my changes now require me to manually click refresh.
Is there some kind of setting I need to use to tell the report to refresh automatically? I can click on the report...run my code to make a change, click to another report and come back...no change....click refresh...changes loaded.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
Ok...maybe something changed. I first used the sample console app maybe a month or so ago, and when I did it would create the "SalesMarketing" dataset, and add / delete rows on that dataset.
When I first was messing with this I created a report that showed the rows on that dataset, and when I ran the console application I would be able to see the changes in real-time on my report. Now, some time later, I tried to modify the sample app to use it for my purposes and I wasn't seeing the real-time update on my report which confused me. But when I re-download the sample app and just run it as is, I noticed that the sample app no longer causes the reports to refresh in real-time either.
Perhaps something changed?
Is there a way for me to push data out and update a dataset, causing reports / dashboards based on that dataset to automatically show the latest data without requring the user to refresh?
We have a television in our produciton area where management wants to see metrics / dashboards displaying information in real-time. No one will be standing there to hit refresh 
EDIT 2:
Figured it out. After a lot more searching and trial/error I found the thread below:
rwong mentioned that pinning a report page does not allow for real-time updates. That was my problem. I was pinning a report page instead of the report component itself. When I did that, everything started working correctly. Hopefully someone else finds this helpful.
