Periodically refresh a record view

Here record means, the record view or summary view of a particular record?

Short answer, Yes. Longer answer: separate (in your mind) the User Interface in which you want your data to appear form the concept of an Appian Record. As long as this User Interface has access to the data that you want to display in a way that can be refreshed, then you can choose to attach that User Interface to the Appian Record (as the Summary View, or any other addition Custom View); or you can simply place that User Interface in an Appian in a Report object and display that as one of your tabs in, say, a Site. It depends entirely if you're wanting to display the data in the context of a single Record, OR you want to display a collection of data records.
