open on my desktop and have it update every 5 minutes or so. In order to
update right now I have to open the tab containing the data and click the
"Refresh" icon. In the Connection Properties menu there is a check box to
refresh every xx minutes, but it is grayed out and unavailable. Is there
something I can do to make this option available? Is it possible to
automatically update graphs in the background as the data changes?
