Auto-Refresh

The Auto-Refresh option allows you to specify whether or not the auto-refresh feature on work item lists should be enabled or disabled by default every time you log in. When enabled, work item lists are automatically refreshed at a specified interval.

Note that this setting affects all work item lists except those on which the auto-refresh feature was set for that individual list. For information about enabling/disabling the auto-refresh feature on individual work item lists, see Auto-Refresh of Work Item Lists.
