Looker: Run queries only when the dashboard window in visible

[soumyarani]

We have a looker dashboard that reloads all of the tiles automatically every 5 mins. But this tends to be left open in the background and triggers a lot of queries which runs without purpose, is there a way to run the queries only when the tab or window with the dashboard is on the foreground?

Hi Soumyarani, as far as the GUI is active it will keep running queries regardless the tab is on foreground or not. What you can do while you are not looking at it, it’s to disable GUI.
