It is irritating to have a pop up every fifteen minutes of inactivity. We would like to request a way to turn off or extend the timing of the auto-refresh.

Done! You can increase the auto refresh timeout from 15 minutes to two hours! This can be done in the Control Panel.
Keep in mind that the auto refresh only pauses if you are not using the keyboard or mouse for that period. Using either would reset the pause timer.
If you are wondering why have an auto refresh pause? The answer is optimization. The auto refresh on your screen is not computationally intensive by its own. However, if you have auto refresh occurring every few seconds on thousands of computers, then that would cause a heavier load on the server and might cause the service to slow down. This is especially wasteful if the user has left for the day and left that screen up to refresh all night or during the weekend when no one is there to see it!
