Refreshing the Current View

You can add an activity component to or remove an activity component from a periodic sample group by:

If the activity of the current view has been selected for periodic sampling, it is refreshed as the timer fires. If the activity of the current view has not been set up for periodic sampling, view is not refreshed when the timer activates.

If the currently displayed activity is not selected for periodic sampling by the JADE Monitor timer function, the Refresh button is enabled so that you can click it if you want to take a new sample of the activity. The Refresh button is disabled if the activity is selected in the Periodically Sampled Items list.

If the Users or Setup Process Statistics view is the current view and the Navigator Click Causes Refresh command is checked, the Refresh button is highlighted with a red font when an add or delete notification has been received for a node or process, to indicate that view changes are pending and the view will not be refreshed until the next timer event is fired, you click the Refresh button, or you press F5.

To take a new sample of the current activity and display the sampled data

A new sample of that activity is then taken, the current activity view is refreshed with new details, and the date and time at which the sample was taken and the number of seconds since the last sample was taken of that activity is displayed at the upper right of the view.

For details about clicking an activity in the Navigator pane to take a new sample and display the sampled data, see "Clicking the Navigator Pane to Refresh the Current View", earlier in this chapter.
