SAS VA how to display current time

Hi,

I want to display current time in my dashboard. I want to time to be lively ie. seconds should tick. I used Calculated Item - Now() function to return time but the time is not displaying the way I like. The seconds doesn't increase continiously.

Is there any way I can do?

If you want a proper ticking clock then I'd suggest finding a clock gadget in the Windows App Store - I'm assuming you are using Windows here. VA reports are not designed to continually refresh as you would need for a ticking clock. At least not in V7.3 to my knowledge.

Thanks SasKiwi. It will be great if we have a JavaScript obect which can be added as widget.
