How can I refresh the current page by clicking on the dashboard tab? I know there is a refresh icon on the top right for the page but that is not suitable. I need to be able to click on the current tab and the page be refreshed.

Sayed, I think you're going to want to look at the worp_page.js file on your server.
c:\ibi\WebFOCUS71\ibi_html\javaassist\worp\js
The select(tab) function is what is being called when you click on the tab. If you read through that javascript, you'll see the first thing it does is check to see if the tab passed is the currentPage. If so, it just skips the whole thing. I don't want to play with my version, but basically you'd have to modify that file so that it goes through the refresh process even if the tab is the current page. Also, it may need to do a further check to see if it's already been loaded -- by looking at the comments, it appears that they're avoiding some bit of work if it's already been loaded once.
Just guessing, but it looks like there is a "reloadPage" variable being set somewhere that you may be able to take advantage of also.
Sorry I can't give you more specifics, but I'm not willing to play with my version at the moment.
Of course at this point you're modifying a file that probably gets overwritten during patches/upgrades -- so keep that in mind. Good luck though and keep us posted.
