When End-Users See Updates

When you change or replace a Display Document on your Web site, users
do not see this change until the previously downloaded Display Document
expires in their cache. See Expiration of Displays (page 34) for details.
There is no automated way for a developer to refresh the displays that are
cached on each user's PC.

using element Relative Displays. In FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView, the
window used to select a different element in FactoryTalk Historian
ProcessBook is not available. Use other programmatic means to change the
context.
