Note

This FAQ deals with updating data from XPAC, not just refreshing the Pivot Grid. Click Auto-Query and Execute Query on the toolbar to refresh the Pivot Grid.

Updating data

When you create or open an analysis report, XPAC queries your project according to the report schema. As a result, updating your XPAC project while you have a report open will not directly update your analysis report.

Information

Always click Refresh report data if you update your project data.

To update your report data:

1.If you have just created your analysis report or made changes, save the analysis report.
2.Finish making the changes to your XPAC project.
3.Re-run the appropriate schedule. This step is only necessary for data that only updates in your database when you run the schedule (i.e. if you need to run a schedule to update your project, you will need to run a schedule to provide the analysis reporting tool with updated data).
4.Open the analysis report.

In some cases, making a change to the report schema will also cause the analysis reports tool to re-query the project for some fields. RPM does not recommend relying on this to update your report.
