Hi @Siddharthnegi,

sorry but your question isn't so clear:

if you want to refresh the full dashboard, youcan click on the browser Refresh button.

If you want to refresh a single panel, you can click on the panel's Refresh button (in the right bottom side of the panel).

If you want to refresh a singe token, you can see some previous answer (also from me) https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-reset-dashboard-tokens-using-XML/td... or https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/How-to-add-refresh-button-to-dashboard/m-p...

Ciao.

thank you for the quick reply
my query is whenever I refresh the whole dashboard I want to set a token to its default value. SO is there a condition that i can use.

Your dashboard could contain a search which (re)sets to the tokens to their default values in the done clause.

Hi @Siddharthnegi ,

if you refresh a page, tokens remain the same you setted.

Use the solution to reset tokens.

Ciao.
