Refreshing Dashboards

Dashboards reflect a snapshot of your data at a specific time. On the Home tab, that time is indicated in the upper left corner on the Dashboard component; on the Reports tab, it's indicated in the upper right corner. You can refresh your dashboards on either tab by clicking Refresh.

If you are using Enterprise, Unlimited, or Performance Edition, you can schedule dashboards to refresh automatically at specific times, and upon completion, receive an email notification that includes the refreshed dashboard.

Scheduling a dashboard refresh is easy. On the Reports tab, simply click the down arrow on the Refresh button and select Schedule Refresh..., then, indicate who should receive the notification email and the time you want the refresh to occur.
