### Details

- Being invoked without parameters, the function will just refresh the current view. 
- The names for default views are 'day', 'week', 'month'. To specify any other view - use its **name** parameter.
- The method is similar to [setCurrentView](api/method/setcurrentview.md). The only difference between methods is that unlike **updateView**, [setCurrentView](api/method/setcurrentview.md) generates  the [onBeforeViewChange](api/event/onbeforeviewchange.md), [onViewChange](api/event/onviewchange.md) events.
