# Refresh View Button

![a Table View with the Keyword Search option enabled and Refresh button](/files/-MY6sBfkmLsYegfW_YF1)

Sometimes Knack will fail or be slow to update a record table, especially if you have a same-page multi-submit form, or a modal multi-submit form where a user can submit the form many times, creating new records until done. If data does not show up in table or update, a page refresh would be necessary. Additionally, when records are added or updated often, the refresh button reinforces the user that they are working with all available and updated records.

### The JS

```javascript
/***************************/
/*** Refresh View Button ***/
/***************************/
$(document).on("knack-view-render.view_321", function (event, page) {
  var button = $(
    "<span style='width: 2em'></span>" +
    "<button id='refresh-view_321' style='border-radius: .35em' class='kn-button is-primary'>" +
    "<i class='fa fa-refresh'></i>" +
    "<span style='width: .5em'></span>Refresh Table</button>"
  );

  button.insertAfter(//places button next to keyword search option
    $("#view_321").find("form.table-keyword-search").find("a")[0]
  );

  $("#refresh-view_321").click(function (e) {
    e.preventdefault();
    Knack.views["view_321"].model.fetch();
  });
});
```

### The CSS

None needed 😎

### How to Implement

Adjust the View ID's with your own

```
view_2698
```

and make sure that the Keyword Search option is enabled for your View
