Auto refresh option for dashboards

Enable an auto refresh option for dashboards including platforms such as the Win10 App. We have dashboards on TVs around the business and rely on a chrome extension to refresh the dashboards, it works... could be more professional as you clearly see the page reload. What is the point of a dashboard without the option to auto refresh.

Totally agree. Auto-refresh like Metabase offers should be enabled already. What's the point of dashboards if you can't display them in offices?

Even for the Mobile app version

We are also looking for an option like this. Now using a plugin to refresh or a html with an iframe makes the displays flash with every reload, causing employees to lose focus on the graph they were looking at, very disturbing if you have a monitor like that in your IT department.

Same situation would be great to have this done automatically instead of having to rely on a browser add on .

This is the exact scenario we are faced with. I have several solutions that use VBA in Excel workbooks to produce our Wall Monitor dashboards and would love to convert these to Power BI reports or Dashboards that would auto Refresh.

this should be a fairly easy feature to put in. And it would be much appreciated.

RE: Auto refresh option for dashboards

I echo this vital element missing from Power BI. This really lets this application done when it could be displayed in all it's glory on a massive TV, only to have a 3rd party extension handle this flaw in a Non-flawlessly way.. sucks....get a refresh that is inisible to the viewer for aseamless stream of intel please!!! thanks
