Allow more Dashboard auto-refreshes per hour

I'm excited by the possibility of the dashboard refreshes in the Spring '08 release, but unfortunately the one-refresh per hour is at such a rate that it's going to really be not very useful for us except for the very top management reports and as such we're not going to be able to allow very many people to use this feature.

Our sales reps each have their individual dashboards, and it would be nice to be able to schedule more refreshes than one per hour by expanding the window; perhaps allowing six dashboards refreshing at any time in a three hour slot.

Or, perhaps it would be nice to "trade" timeslots with other organizations -- we'd like to be able to schedule more refreshes between 3:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and we're unlikely to ever have a need to schedule a dashboard refresh between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, but I can imagine that another organization (perhaps in another part of the world) might have other high points and low points.

smilmo 04/15/08	We are struggling to update all dashboards even with two scheduled refreshes an hour. Would be extremely useful if this could be increased to three or four times per hour, or more frequent time slots were added - ie it was possible to schedule two refreshes every half an hour.
WrogWrog 07/15/08	Besides which, refreshing DURING the working day is confusing to everyone. We need to be able to refresh a number of dashboards overnight. We're not actually fussy about exactly when they are refreshed, as long as the new view is there when we come in at 8am. Ours take around 20 secs each to refresh, so it would take only a few minutes to do the lot.....

bk08ppd 12/31/08	We are using the Enterprise version of the system and we only have 24 auto - refreshes, which is not enough at all considering we have almost 200 dashboards that would need to be auto - refreshed. We really need more refreshes per day or why not set it up so that it is limited to the user who schedules the refresh...Therefore each user could have a refresh scheduled each hour???
