Overview
In legacy Construct, pages could have a Refresh Rate setting that automatically refreshed the page at specified intervals. This was particularly useful for monitoring pages where backend processes update records while the user is viewing the page (e.g., order status tracking, workflow step progress).
Cloud Construct does not have automatic polling built in. Instead of continuous background refresh, Cloud Construct uses action-driven refresh: data updates when the user takes action (for example, refreshes the page, scrolls in a grid, or selects a row). For scenarios requiring real-time background updates, Audit-enabled containers provide built-in polling for audit history tracking.
Updated Methodology
For most use cases, action-driven refresh (data refreshes when the user acts) is sufficient and more efficient than polling.
Enable Audit on grid/form containers for the dataset you want to track.
Audit-enabled containers automatically poll at regular intervals.
Record status, audit trail, and field changes appear in the Audit History dialog box.
No custom workflow needed; polling is optimized and built-in.
