Ok this trick only works if you don't have any prompts on the dashboard page. They can live on other pages if you want to keep them.
Add a text element to your dashboard
Enter :
<META HTTP-EQUIV = "REFRESH" CONTENT = "900">
where 900 is the refresh time in seconds. Don't forget to check the Contains HTML Markup box.
Till Next Time.
Edit: Stijn pointed me to adding:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" >
To avoid caching of the browser.

Hi John,
it's not really clear to me, why (or when) I should add this to a dashboard.

Hi Stijn,
The user requested a refresh of his OLTP based dashboard every 15 min. He has a dedicated screen only for this page.

Hi John,
in that case I advise you to add:
META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" as well, to avoid caching of the browser. Just to be sure.

Hi Stijn,

Good info John,
We are currently using OBI 10.1.3.2 SE for our reporting and we have a similar requirement where the dashboard page needs to refresh at the specific interval. I have followed your steps but I dont see an option for " HTML Mark up" . Is this option available only in specific version or I am I missing some thing here .
I am logged in as an admin
Thanks
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
I haven't worked with the SE edition but it seems strange to me that this option isn't availible. I'm using a text element from the dashboard edit controls. Which one are you using?

John,
I am using the same .. text element from the dashboard editor..
Strange.. I will try to look in the bookshelf if there is anything in there..
Thanks for your reply
I don't see this option too.
Version OBI SE1 10.1.3.2.1
@Master,
I haven't worked with the SE edition so I can't help you there.

Wonderful !!
Worked smoothly ..

Hi John,
I have Dashboard Prompt and the Prompt is refreshed with updated values from the db when the page refreshes; which is great.
However, how can I stop the prompt from including its previous selection in its drop down list?
Any help much appreciated,
John also
@BDS,
Could you please elaborate? Which previous selections do you mean?
regards
John
