Refresh Gallery/Collection from Timer

[p-t-brown]

Hello, 

I have a gallery (GallerySpace) that populates from a collection called colFloors that I need to refresh using a timer.  I've tried various iterations of Refresh() in the timer's OnTimerEnd but can't get this to refresh.  Could anyone provide some guidance on how to get this to work?  

Thanks in advance.

Refreshing a collection will have no effect.  The refresh function only works on a non-local datasource such as a SharePoint List, SQL, CDS, etc.

Refresh(your_sharepoint_list);

Instead, you must re-create the collection using the code you have written previously to load it.  Refresh cannot be used on a collection.

ClearCollect(colFloors, some_code_here)
