I have searched everywhere and am unable to find a solution for this.  We are using Odoo 8 solely for project management.  I would like to display an auto-refreshing dashboard of our current projects and gantt chart to our staff on a big TV in the office.  So I have 2 questions on this.  Can I setup a dashboard to auto-refresh when status/hours/projects change?  Also, can I remove the menu on the top and side so it runs full screen?  Can this be controlled for example through a querystring command?

My url at the moment looks like this: http://<webaddresshere>:8069/web#view_type=form&model=board.board&menu_id=96&action=88

Axel, thanks for the suggestion.  I have installed the module but it is not refreshing anything on the dashboard.  My board has 4 panels - gantt for tasks for user A, gantt for tasks for user B, list of open and pending projects for user A, and list of open and pending projects for user B.  I have set auto_refresh to 10 for window actions for: My Dashboard, Tasks (there were 2 actions so I set for both), Project's Tasks, Projects (there were 2 actions also so I set for both).  What am I missing??

You could do it by using the module solt_autorefresh like it's described here:

just install the module and make sure that all the actions used in the dashboard have the auto_refresh value setted

AFAIK odoo does not have a native asynchronous communication mechanism, which is what you would need to implement something like this. However, you can probably implement it yourself using jobs from the connector framework: https://github.com/OCA/connector
