  Info
  title Widget Auto-refresh Rule
  The following rules apply once the auto-refresh feature is enabled and the refresh interval is set: If the current time when you open the dashboard is equal to or later than the last refresh time plus the auto-refresh interval, then the page will refresh automatically. A new countdown will start from the current time.  Example: The last refresh time is 9:00 and the auto-refresh interval is set to 5 minutes. If you access the dashboard at 9:08, it will automatically refresh once and start a new auto-refresh timer at 9:08. If you open the dashboard before the last refresh time plus the auto-refresh interval, the dashboard will not refresh. It will refresh automatically when the set interval is reached.  Example: The last refresh time is 9:00 and the auto-refresh interval is set to 5 minutes. Using the same example, the dashboard will not refresh if you access it at 9:02, which is earlier than 9:00 and the set refresh at 5 minutes. If you stay on the page until 9:05, the dashboard will automatically refresh at 9:05. However, if you leave the page before 9:05, the last refresh time will remain at 9:00.  The dashboard will follow the set auto-refresh interval while it is open, and the automatic page refresh will stop when the dashboard is closed.
