Timed display of charts (conditional blocks)

Hello,

I have 6 charts (different queries). I need to display each chart for 5 min. Only one chart has to be displayed in each 5 min. interval. I believe that conditional blocks will give me the needed solution, however I'm not sure what to write in the variables.

I would be more than happy to hear about different solutions (other than conditional blocks).

Thanks!

Is this like a slideshow display for a kiosk or similar? Where it will be indefinitely looping through the "slides"? Then I would look at a javascript solution. Build each chart as a separate report. Code javascript to use a timer and after five minutes, load the action URL for the next report (you can find them in the report properties, click "View the search path, ID and URL" in the upper right). You should be able to do this right inside the reports with HTML items, or you could have a separate web page containing the necessary javascript and it could load the reports into an iframe.
