Schedule Dashboard Refresh
Instead of having to click "refresh" to see updated Dashboard data, there should be a process to schedule regular refreshes on Dashboards.

Alternatively, the dashboard refresh could be executed/activated with the Browser refresh button. That is where most users would expect to refresh a screen. This would mean that dashboards would be refreshed each time a user's browser fetched a dashboard page from the server, and we would not have to even ask for a process to schedule dashboard refreshes. (In other words ... "Dear sfdc, please eliminate the manual dashboard refresh button and replace it with dynamic refresh.") Does anyone ever have a business requirement which requires a static dashboard anyway??? |

This is really a duplicate of this idea. http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/22241 |

This catches more people on first entering a dashboard. THe data is online and constantly changing, but the Dashboard needs a manual Update. Crazy. |

This would be very helpful as we have monitors posted throughout the building and a auto refresh will help us from going in and updating stale data that present on the screen. |

I agree that this should be refreshed with the browser, ie. when they open Salesforce or login. |

This is a requirement within our company too, as users cannot understand why, if changes have been made to Opportunities, this is not instantly reflected in their dashboards - we are left with users who distruct what they are seeing. |

I believe that something like this was already in production, but Salesforce removed it some time ago due to bandwidth issues |

Great! This is very much needed, and will save us time. I now have someone whose job it is to open and refresh each dashboard every morning. So at the very least - the data is hours old. Will you be able to put in several refresh times? eg: 7am and 1pm? |

Do it yourself with a fairly simple s-control that you include as a component in the http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=ajax_toolkit&me... |

Killian, the dashboards take a while to refresh. With large amounts of data behind large numbers of components, some of our customer's dashboards take over 20 minutes to complete a refresh. Nobody can be expected to wait that long for the page to appear. So the dashboards contain data stored as of the last refresh, and the refreshes happen in the background. With the scheduling of refreshed we make sure people can get fresh data when they need it, and can always still manually start a refresh if they want to. |

Would've been a great feature if I could schedule a refresh at 9:00AM. Otherwise, it's worthless for me. |

You can normally schedule a refresh in the hour between 8 and 9 or between 9 and 10. You can't specify a minute to run the dashboard at, because even if you run manually, you've seen the refresh take a few minutes. We thought that telling people they could specify a minute to run at would lead to a lot of disappointment - as people didn't get it exactly at 9am, they would get it at 9:14, 9:25, or 9:45, depending on how busy the system was. |
