SNOW-CSA Reporting, SLA and Imports Practice Question
An administrator wants to create a dashboard with multiple reports that automatically refresh every 5 minutes. Which feature should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse report scheduling (which sends static snapshots) with dashboard auto-refresh (which updates the live view), or mistakenly think an iframe can achieve the same result without understanding its limitations in ServiceNow.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Dashboard with auto-refresh property
A dashboard in ServiceNow can have its auto-refresh property set to a specific interval, such as every 5 minutes, which automatically refreshes all reports on the dashboard simultaneously. This meets the administrator's requirement without manual intervention or additional scheduling.
