Autorefresh Dashboard on TV screen

Dear all,

I'm relatively new to QS and I need your help:

==> My target is to have the Dashboard running on a TV without manual interaction

The ideal case would be to create a story and it will be played in full-screen in an infinite loop and refreshes itself. Is there such function?

As I didn't find this function, I was thinking about creating a story and export it to powerpoint and then convert it into a video and put it onto the TV screens and update it once a week/month.

With the stories I have another problem: If I want to have separate sheets that show e.g. country specific data from charts. For example: One sheet for England that has 5 different charts that are filtered to England, another sheet with the same logic for France, etc.
When I take a snapshot of a chart that has a filter applied, I can easily add it to a slide in a story but if I update the raw data, it doesn't update the snapshot. Is there any way to change this?
I think a workaround would be to to insert live-sheets to the story, but in this case I would have to create many copy-paste sheets with the same data and I would like to avoid it.

The perfect solution would be if I can take a snapshot with a filter of a chart and copy it to a story and every time I update the raw data, it updates all snapshots with the new data (and also applies changes from the original chart to the snapshots in the stories).

I appreciate your help in advance.

Dear all,

in case somebody will have a similar use for the dashboard:

  • I have created a Story with live sheets, to which I pre-applied filters before adding them to the story (It's a normal function - lessons learned for myself
  • In order to play the presentation on screens automatically, I developed an excel macro that opens the URL of the story in full screen mode, every XX seconds it triggers the right-arror-key to go to the next slide. When it has reached the last slide, it will reload the the presentation on the first page

For this solution it works perfectly fine when publishing an updated version or when reloading the data. This has been tested for several weeks now and I didn't have any issues with it so far. However, it would be fantastic if an automatic slideshow could be a native functionality in Qlik Sense.
