Resolver IIAuto Refresh Dashboards and Reports
Advocate IYou're welcome! Glad that worked for you.
Resolver IIWhat you gave me solves one part ot the problem.
Lets try to find a solution to the general problem:
Why is that my dashboard, reports and live pages don't get updated when a scheduled refresh occurs?
I had 2 screens with the dashboards open on two different browser waiting to see if there's going to be a change in the numbers after the scheduled refreshed but for about 4 refreshes nothing happened.

I'm trying to accomplish a similar thing. I have several chromeboxes displaying dashboards on TV's throughout our building. I'm using the Super Auto Refresh extension to refresh the page every 5 minutes, but as far as I can tell the only way to get it to refresh properly is to use the "Refresh Dashboard Tiles" menu option or clicking through to the report. Refreshing the page alone does not seem to update the dashboard tiles.
After reading some articles it seems to me like Dashboards weren't really meant to be used for this type of "live" digital signage application. I believe that's why they allow developers to embed dashboards and tiles into applications. Problem is, I'm not a developer and this seems like an obvious use case for regular dashboards.

Birdjo - were you able to find a solution or a good workaround? I'm running into the same issue...doesn't seem like showing the taskbar and page tab is ideal when trying to present your dashboard in your office...

Yes, we use chromeboxes and Rise App to display our PBI reports.
