Refreshing a data function instance in your analysis
If you have added a data function instance with manual update to your analysis, and the underlying data has been changed, you can update the calculation using the same settings as last time by clicking Refresh in the data canvas.

About this task
When you add a data function in Spotfire, you can specify whether that data function should refresh automatically and run every time the Spotfire analysis is opened. You might want to avoid this option if the data input does not change, and running the data function consumes a lot of time and resources. However, if the input data changes frequently and you want the data function to reflect the changes in a visualization, automatic refresh can be helpful. You can change the Refresh function automatically setting at all places where you add or edit data function instances.
To refresh a data function instance manually, follow these steps.
