Data Designer BETA feedback

Overall, I really like the UI and see lots of value in the tool.  A few areas of bugginess / improvements I would recommend:

Preparation - Add fields: typing in the search freezes the window, reported by multiple users

Analysis - Not useful until can be published to Report Builder / external stakeholders

Configure - Why is end date a required field, prefer to have this run until stopped.  Can this refresh more frequently, CSMs prefer to see real-time or near real-time data.

Hi Are we going to allow for Cron schedules for data designer? My data set is ~150 records and takes about 11 seconds to run, I’d like to schedule this like rules to run every 2 hours.

Hello Steve!

Happy to announce that your request has been considered and included as part of the v6.16 release. With this release, Data Designer is introducing an Advanced Scheduler which uses Cron Expressions to refresh the Data Space. This enables you to refresh the data more frequently, compared to the existing (Basic) scheduler. And, Advanced Scheduler also addresses some of the advanced use cases including refreshing the Data Spaces as frequently as every two hours, or on a less frequent basis to match business processes, such as on the 1st and 15th of the month.

This feature is implemented in both SFDC & NXT versions.

Thanks for posting!
