Auto Refresh a New dashboard

Sure, this will only work on a Home Page, but not a new dashboard, but you can cheat and embed a new Dashboard in a Home Page.

Make a Page called Refresh.html
with code below.  This will refresh every 300,000 milliseconds which is 300 seconds whch is 5 minutes.  

<script>
setTimeout(function(){
parent.location.reload(1);
}, 300000);
</script>


The include a web page widget on your home page with this URL

mycompany.quickbase.com/db/xxxxxxxx?a=showpage&pageID=24

Replace xxxxxxx with the app ID
Replace 24 with the Page # of that Refresh script page.

Note that while you are in Customize Page mode on the homepage it will suddenly refresh every five minutes so you might want to set a longer delay while you are working with the homepage configuration as it gets confusing if all of a sudden the page just refreshes on you!
