Refresh Dashboards

Is there a way in SF enterprice edition to refresh dashboards every hour (automatically) without clicking on the refresh button. We were told that this can be done by SControl. However, there isnt any help docs available.
 
Can anybody help?

You can't really do that with an Scontrol because Scontrols don't run asynchronously like that, they only run when you're looking at the page that contains them.  Also, if you tried to auto-refresh in an Scontrol and had multiple users running the Scontrol at once, your dashboard would probably be in a perpetual state of refresh, which wouldn't make the Salesforce service delivery team very happy wiith you.

The good news is that Salesforce now offers scheduled dashboard refreshes.  Go to Help & Training and look for the article "Tips on Scheduling a Dashboard Refresh."

Hello

I have alreday tried that last week. It only allows 1 scheduled refresh per day.

Any more suggestions?

Maybe try having 23 other users schedule refreshes at the other hours?
