Auto Refresh a New dashboard

There is an elegant way to Refresh a Home Page (ie old style dashboard).
Just a code page like this

<script>
setTimeout(function(){
parent.location.reload(1);
}, 60000);
</script>

Then just have a link to the "Web Page" like this.

mycompany.quickbase.com/db/xxxxxx?a=dbpage&pageID=19

Has anyone figured out how to get a New Style Dashboard to auto refresh in a similar low code method?

    I have not.  I used to use that too but obviously doesnt work now.  I had reached out to support months ago and they said nothing.  Ill follow this post in case someone says something.  In today's world those dashboards should be joined to auto refresh without us needing to do anything honestly.  Web pages cant be stagnant like that anymore.

      I found an answer to my own question. I use the share link for the New Dashboard to embed a webpage on my old homepage (suffixed with &ifv=1).

      And then I know how to refresh a home page so I got it to work.

      The use case is where you're trying to put a giant TV screen up in an office and have various key measure widgets be updated every few minutes.

        Mark can you elaborate on this solution? I have this exact use case, a large TV that I need to update regularly. 

        I'd also like to be able to update just a basic report page in the same manner. (Such as a homepage report for a table)
