	~~This section describes the enhancements to AppBoard that are included in version 2.5.2.~~

	* Added new Server Polling feature that can be enabled per Data Collection to ensure the data cache is always filled. The primary use case is to handle slow responding data source queries and always be able to respond immediately to client requests. For more information refer to the [[appboard/2.5/builder/caching_and_polling\|Caching & Polling]] overview.

For more information refer to the [[appboard/2.5/builder/caching_and_polling\|Caching & Polling]] overview. (AB-915)
	* Added a powerful new feature for configuring Actions in Widgets. Actions can now be selectively fired based on the specific data attribute (column) acted upon by the user, in any Widgets where this is supported by the Widget type. For example, different Actions can be applied based on clicking in different columns in a Table Widget. For more detail, see [[appboard/2.5/builder/widgets/actions#Action_Filtering\|Action Filtering]]. (AB-928)		* Added a powerful new feature for configuring Actions in Widgets.
