The automatic update ensures that the data displayed in the main window is up to date. All the data displayed is updated in each cycle, in particular:
the object lists and their statuses in the working area
the object lists and their statuses in the tree structure
While an automatic update is running, the update icon (rotating wheel) on the right-hand edge of the tabs shows this.
The value for the automatic update can be set in the ROBAR-SV Manager, see section "Setting the automatic update on a user-specific basis".
Suspending the automatic update
As soon as you change the displayed data (filter, sort, expand a line, click on a selection field), the automatic update is suspended.
The suspended update is indicated by the fixed icon on the right-hand edge of the tabs. When you click this icon, the page is refreshed and the automatic update is resumed. All changes which you have made on this page are then lost (e.g. filter set, selection fields selected).
