Helper IVData Refresh - Import Method
revansh The UI only supports the import refresh as the documentation states. If you have an 8 minutes requirement you would need to combine your dataset behind the scenes into a source that supports Direct Query, or into a model that is a Live Connection. In both those scenerio's you would have some scheduled job that refreshed the dataset.
You "might" be able to refresh certain dashboard tiles using the Developer API but that is outside my expertise area. I'm not aware of a way to refresh a dataset using the Dev API's.

Seth, can you elaborate on combining a dataset into a source that supports direct query or live connection? I'd really like to display the dashboards I have created in Power BI full-screen on TV's around my workplace, in a live connection mode or refreshed every 5 minutes at the most.
