I need to auto-refresh my dashboard every 5 minutes. What code do I need to add? This is the source code:

<form>
  <label>Revenue</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
    <input type="time" token="field1" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Select a time frame</label>
      <default>
        <earliest>@d</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <single>
        <search>
          <query>source=revenue | eval dateInField=strptime(Date,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N") | where dateInField >= relative_time(now(), "@d") AND dateInField < relative_time(now(), "@d+24h") | chart sum(Revenue)</query>
          <earliest>$field1.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$field1.latest$</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="colorBy">value</option>
        <option name="colorMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="numberPrecision">0.00</option>
        <option name="rangeColors">["0x65a637","0x6db7c6","0xf7bc38","0xf58f39","0x65a637"]</option>
        <option name="rangeValues">[0,30,70,100]</option>
        <option name="showSparkline">1</option>
        <option name="showTrendIndicator">1</option>
        <option name="trendColorInterpretation">standard</option>
        <option name="trendDisplayMode">absolute</option>
        <option name="underLabel">Today's Authorized Sales</option>
        <option name="unit">$</option>
        <option name="unitPosition">before</option>
        <option name="useColors">1</option>
        <option name="useThousandSeparators">1</option>

There is a refresh attribute available for your <form> or <dashboard> tag, which sets the interval after which you want to refresh whole dashboard automatically. See the table here http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.0/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#dashboard

Usage

   <form refresh="300">
       <label>Revenue</label>
       <fieldset submitButton="false" autoRun="true">
 ....rest of the code.....

Also, there is refresh.auto.interval option available for all visualization elements (chart/table/map etc) which does the auto refresh of that panel element only. If you want to refresh only few panels of your dashboard (which may changes while other panel result will stay same), OR want to different refresh interval for different panels, use that instead. E.g.

<panel>
    <chart>
    .....
         <option name="refresh.auto.interval">300</option>
    .....
</chart>
....
