Hello Gliders

Quick Question,

Im building an app based on big query data

The actual big query data source is updated hourly. My question is, does glide automatically re-query the bigquery data set every x minutes / hours or does it only update when the refresh symbol is pressed at the top of the data in the data tab?

I would expect it to sync every x minutes, do we have it documented somewhere @NoCodeAndy @DarrenHumphries ? Thank you.

Also, using the “Reload Query” action might help, though I have only used it in Big Tables.

Big Query is a manual sync meaning that you get the latest data either when you open the app or you activate a reload action. Yes, reload query works with BQ as well as SQL.
