If you have Sideview Utils installed already, bookmark its "Freshmaker" view.
Where it is in the app navigation menu depends on what version you have. If you have the most recent (3.0), it's at "Tools > Other Tools > The FreshMaker"
or you can just go to : /en-US/apps/sideview_utils/refresh_entities
Ayn is right of course that you can hit the debug/refresh URL http://yourserver:8000/debug/refresh and you can hit it for just one particular entity with URL's like http://yourserver:8000/en-US/debug/refresh?entity=/admin/views. However the core debug/refresh endpoint can get really slow. On my main windows dev server just hitting the views endpoint takes 22 seconds at the moment.
The Sideview Utils FreshMaker, as of version 3.0 implements its own little python controller so that you can refresh individual endpoint and the request only takes a fraction of a second.
And in more recent versions of Splunk you can indeed hit the app logo to refresh the views. However in my experience it's not 100% reliable and even that is too long for me to wait. My test-tweak iteration cycle drops down to seconds when I'm troubleshooting and a five second wait between page reloads doesn't work for me as an app developer.
