View update query

I’ve got a view that uses documents created by people using browsers (a web discussion). The view’s purpose is to build a thread map (links to the originating topic & all descendants) that gets displayed when documents are read, it is categorized on main topic UNID.

The problem is that the view to new documents remain unchanged until I force a view update using the Notes client (F9 or CTRL/SHIFT/F9) and without a refresh the threadmap shows dates and times when the last document was added - which is ok except that I’d like to use ‘Today’ & ‘Yesterday’ in dates & show a flag on recent responses, the threadmap in the standard discussion doesn’t do this.

The view index refresh property is ‘Auto after first use’ & discard property is ‘If inactive for 45 days’. Update is in the ServerTasks & Updall runs daily. I’d rather not force it by having an agent add & remove a document every day but can’t think of any alternative… is there a way?
