Inside the fieldset tag we have written a HTML code. Also we have written the inline CSS in between the style tag. We have used a tag to create the hyperlink( mainly for refresh option).

posting source code in a .docx file… smh.
Yes Clayton ;):)
Only works if you have no parameters. What if you have form fields?
In form field also it will work, Just add the code given in the source code in the “fieldset” tag . It worked for me !!
can you show us an example how you did this?
i want to pass parameters thru my form using refresh button above but acting like a submit button.
I have a refresh setting on the panel on the dashboard every 10 minutes,
What happens if the search does not finish within 10 minutes?
If the search does not finish in 10 mins, that search will be still on and simultaneously that search will start again as another job id, hence will put more load on the server for running the same long running search at the same time. That’s a reason based on your search performance you should keep the refresh time for the dashboard.
