As far as I know, there is no Cron Job for updating dashboard graphs - e.g. for emails sent and leads created? When and how often will it be updated?

at least for the current date this seems not to be true. it will only show updated data once you explicitly press the date selection apply button.

It still doesn’t always update on its own. Is there a reason?

I was looking for a way to ‘refresh’ the data. Thanks Dirk, the ‘Apply’ button did the trick… And yes, I too was expecting that a simple “refresh” (F5) for the entire page will update the graph. It doesn’t :-/

Sure, but could I also trigger an automatic refresh when calling the dashboard? Or regularly as a background task?

The dashboard should refresh each time you log in the system. But i notice that some system since 2.0 the dashboard does not update automatically
