Automatic refresh in Dashboard preferences offers Off, Every 5 minutes, and Every 15 minutes. The setting keeps dashboard data current while the page is open; background tabs stay paused.
Open Settings, then Dashboard, choose the interval, and save the preference. Off leaves refresh under your control. A longer interval reduces request frequency while you are working in the open dashboard.
This is a dashboard refresh preference. It should not be interpreted as a promise that a bank, payment provider, or other external source will supply new information on that schedule. A refreshed view can still show the latest records available from its source.
If the dashboard seems unchanged after you return from another tab, check the visible source and update status before assuming data was lost. Save confirmation matters when changing the interval. If automatic refresh causes a repeatable error, report the interval, company, browser, and visible message. Avoid repeatedly reloading active forms or imports just to make a dashboard figure update.
