This article will help users enable automatic desktop refresh. Users will need access to TDNext to enable for themselves or TDAdmin to enable for others.
Overview
Automatic Desktop Refresh allows a desktop to reload modules automatically after a set interval has passed. Automatic refresh can be set on individual desktops or applied from a desktop template.
Personal Desktops
When a user has a personal desktop, they can set automatic refresh on that desktop directly from the desktop editor:
- Open the Edit Desktop page for the desktop you want to enable.
- For most application desktops, click the Edit [Application] Desktop in the application.
- For desktops in the Desktops application, click the gear icon, then click the desktop name on the Manage Desktops page.
- Click on the Details tab.
- Check "Enable Auto-Refresh"
- Save
Desktop Templates
When a desktop is applied through a template, the automatic refresh setting is copied from the template. To enable automatic refresh for a desktop template, follow these steps:
- Open a desktop template in TDAdmin > Desktop Templates > Desktop Templates > [Template].
- Click on the Details tab.
- Check "Enable Auto-Refresh"
- Save
Once automatic refresh is enabled, if the desktop template is applied to users, it will copy the automatic refresh setting. If it's shared as a linked desktop, this setting will stay in sync with the template (like all other parts of the desktop). If it's shared as a non-linked desktop, the auto refresh setting will be copied from the desktop but the user will be able to change it.
