I love data designer, I’m seeing some inconsistency with the way it saves recurring schedules. Yesterday this list looked like it didn’t have schedules set. I went in to the designs (which had recurring schedules saved when I got to the page), I disabled the schedule, re-enabled it, then checked the listing again, and it showed a next run time instead of not scheduled. Engagement Score is an example of this behavior:

I go in this morning and my schedules have once again disappeared. 

I’ve confirmed that these Designs don’t refresh their data if they don’t have a next run scheduled appearing in the listing (even though there is one saved). 

 

Any of you other data designers out there seeing this? Also, I really wish that when you applied columns to the design rule (like Next Run) that they stuck, I have to set that every time and it’s valuable info. I’d also like last run, but I can get that in the execution history if I need to.

 

This happened again. I took this screenshot this morning:

@Alicia Azar this is pretty critical to our operations, can you help me chase down what’s going on?


@Scotty at Calendly Can confirm I’ve never faced that issue. Can you share a screenshot of how your successfully scheduled designs looks like compared to the ones that seemingly unschedule themselves?


Hey @alizee! Thanks for your reply, here are some screenshots, but for the life of me I can’t see any correlations.

Rule that says it is not scheduled even though it has configuration:

Rule that is configured for a schedule and the schedule is working:

The only difference I see is the email notification switch, I tried toggling that, no dice.


@Scotty at Calendly I would look at the End Date, labeled as “Till Date” in the UI.

If you have a schedule but the “Till Date” is in the past, then there is no future or next scheduled run. Even though you have a schedule, that schedule isn’t configured to trigger, and the DD listing then states “Not Scheduled”, which is partially true, but not the whole story as you note.

I’m noting in your last 2 screenshots that the DD you report as behaving mysteriously has a “Till Date” in the past.


Oh snap. Good eye! Should that be ‘Til Date?

Adding those dates now, I think I assumed the pattern was “pick the date and that’s it” instead of “pick the date, press return, then save”.
