Many of you are embedding Explore Analytics reports on ServiceNow dashboards, as well as Sharepoint, Google Sites, or other portals.
Often, these reports are live, but in some cases you may want to display daily, weekly, or monthly generated frozen reports. If a report doesn’t need to be live (for instance, for daily or weekly calculations), it may perform more quickly with frozen data. For more information on when frozen reports might be appropriate, see this earlier blog post.
These frozen reports can be automatically scheduled to publish on a regular basis. Now, the republished reports can use the same URL, so that you can automate replacing the frozen report in your dashboard or portal.
We’re going to walk through an example, so you can see how it works.
