Automatic refresh of dashboards and reports

I have read many of the post about this topic, but I am still wonder if it is possible to automatic refresh dashboards and reports.

 

We have installed the Power Bi gateway and can see that the data sets are automtically updates - but not the dashboards. When you select a the dashboard, it is updated.  We want to show a dashboard with today's sale on a screen on the wall - and want the dasbboard to be updated without activating it. Is this possible???

 

We getting data fram a SQl server and iare using DirectQuery.

For dashboards, the pinned tiles can be refreshed without interaction while the pinned live page won't be refreshed until a "F5".

See Tile refresh and pin a live page.

 

For reports, you'll have to refresh manually as the pinned live pages.
