Refreshing vs. Reloading Data

How refreshing and reloading affects your loaded data depends on how the original data was loaded.

If data was loaded using one of Datamine's Data Source Drivers, including Datamine files:

Refreshing data renews the selected data object using whatever load settings were used to originally load it. For example, if you had loaded a Datamine points file whilst holding the <CTRL> key and filtered one or more columns, the Refresh command repeats the same action when bringing the data back into your application.

If no load options were set originally, the file is refreshed in its entirety.
Reloading data also renews the current in-memory object based on the current state of the physical file on disk, but in this case any previous load options such as filtering or formula application are reset and you are given the chance to set new load options using the appropriate screen for the selected driver.

In summary: refreshing reuses previous data load instructions (without prompts) and reloading asks you to define them again.

In the case of drag-and-drop loading, where default load options are set (no screens are displayed), Refresh and Reload result in the same outcome (data in memory is renewed without further prompts or load options).

To refresh loaded data:

Display the Data Refresh screen.
Select one or more objects from the Select objects to refresh list. You can use keyboard modifiers SHIFT and CTRL to select multiple items.

Tip: click Select All or Select None to perform a global selection or deselection of items.
Click OK.

The selected data items are refreshed. Data is renewed based on your previous data loading instructions.
