How can I auto refresh my dashboard?

[Simeon]

I have a dash board that I want to refresh the results every few minutes. How can I tell my dashboard to automatically refresh data?

If you are using simple xml, rather than advanced xml, then you can add the refresh parameter to the dashboard tag:

For example, < dashboard refresh="30" > sets the refresh rate to 30 seconds.

If you're on version 4.1, you could also consider using real-time dashboards rather than period searches. This will give you more up-to-date results, and may also be less resource-intensive on the server.

You can set the refresh rate by using the following parameter in your view:

<view refresh="30" template="dashboard.html">
