how to refresh a particular section at regular intervals like every 1 min ?
I have a requirement to display the live data in a section. For this, I need to refresh a section periodically at regular intervals and by without any user action or by any event. I have tried embedding a section with a data page context which is having the refresh strategy of 1 min. This approach was not working as data page is getting refreshed but not the UI.I have even tried another approach by using JS script html section embedded in a section which is mentioned in the below link :

The section was not refreshing automatically. Is there any existing OOTB feature in pega that can handle refresh periodically for a section? if not, how can this be handled?

@AlvinJasion Refresh Strategy should work in refreshing the section. One other way is writing custom control and place the control in the section which is getting refreshed.
Custom control:-
<script>
setTimeOut(function(){
pega.u.d.reloadSection(pega.u.d.getSectionByName("MySection","",""),"",'', false, true, '-1', false);
},1000)
</script>

What kind of latest information you need to display in UI?
You could make use of Publish-Notifications functionality to auto refresh section when some update is getting happened in back-end data which you are showing in UI. This functionality will help you in making un wanted section refresh, when data is getting updated that time alone UI will get refreshed..
Please refer below mentioned article, to know how and what is the usage of Publish-Notifications...

@AlvinJasion Hi You can also look into Refresh Condition which is available in layouts and when you include a section
You can add a condition based on a property change, a condition or add or delete in a list. You can control the way you fetch the live data, you can add a datetime property which can be updated with the date time at which the live data was fetched and use that for your refresh condition.
