How to Automatically Republish a Dashboard

In Displayr, the versions of your dashboard in Edit Mode vs View Mode are managed separately. This allows you to update and make changes to things in Edit mode, and only publish to the live dashboard (in View Mode) exactly what you want your viewers to see. Sometimes, you might have a report that doesn't need much intervention or needs to be updated frequently, and so you just want to update the published dashboard (Republish) on a set schedule. This article describes how to set up a schedule for your dashboard to be republished automatically. Additionally, it can be coupled with updating your data set automatically at a schedule, see Updating data sets section on How to Create Dashboards with Real-Time Updating.
