UPDATE (7 Oct 2014) : This is now available in form of chrome extension, Try it out @\u00a0AppExchange<\/a> or https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/auto-refresh-salesforce-d\/mogildlgjglckdcfclpbcbidpdkjgeeb<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0http:\/\/satrangtech.com\/products.htm#5<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is there a way we can have Salesforce Dashboard Auto-Refresh every few seconds (not recommended) or every x minutes or every x hours …?<\/span><\/p>\n

Standard Out of box functionality does allow to refresh dashboard, but the lowest level of refresh interval is DAILY or WEEKLY or MONTHLY.<\/p>\n

Lets say you want to have(display) a Sales Monitor always LIVE showing real time data, how do you achieve that?<\/p>\n

There’s no direct way of doing it, but JS (as always) comes to the rescue …<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to Computer (which is streaming output to LIVE monitor) , open Chrome browser (will try to update the script later to make it work in all browsers)<\/li>\n
  2. Login to Salesforce and Navigate to desired Dashboard<\/li>\n
  3. Delete url from \u00a0address\/url bar, type (or copy+paste) below code and hit enter in address\/url bar. (Make sure javascript: at start is there, chrome does remove it when copy pasted)
    \n

    javascript:function autorefresh() {document.getElementById('refreshButton').click();setTimeout(autorefresh, 5000);}autorefresh();<\/code><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  4. Now do a full screen and enjoy Dashboard Live Monitor \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0Please Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 5000 represents 5000 milli seconds ie 5 seconds, so change the same according to your requirements ie if you want it to refresh every minute change the value to 60000<\/li>\n
    2. This is not a recommended way, as its a tweak and might not work in future. (But as of now its working great and helps in having real time monitor of your favorite dashboard, so enjoy!)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Might be this can be an admin tool or a chrome extension, will try to make one when I get time and chance \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n
