Current to 13 Oct 26Dashboard widget fails to load during complex aggregation query, timing out on Snowflake compute. Olivia and Jamie provided workaround and committed to query optimization.
Problem: Shane's dashboard for placement reporting fails when aggregating large dataset; error makes entire dashboard unusable. Handling: Olivia identified complex query timing out on customer's Snowflake compute and offered workaround (filter by fewer roles). Jamie's team will optimise the query. Watch: Customer actively building dashboards indicates strong adoption; performance issues may limit growth.

- internal_note · Olivia Grant 17 Dec 2025 09:24Picked up this ticket. Checked the backend logs. The aggregation query for the widget is timing out on their Snowflake compute. Will need Jamie to review the query performance and either optimise it or recommend a compute scaling approach.
- created · Shane Twomey 17 Dec 2025 17:27Hi, I was trying to build a dashboard to show placements by role over the last quarter, but one of the widgets keeps failing to load. The error message just says 'connection timeout' and then the whole dashboard becomes unusable. I've tried refreshing the page and logging out, but nothing's worked. Can you help sort this out? Shane
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 17 Dec 2025 19:20Hi Shane, thanks for the details. I've found the issue. The dashboard widget is running a complex aggregation on a large dataset and the query is timing out. I've got our engineering team looking at how to optimise it. In the meantime, you could try filtering the time range on the dashboard to fewer roles, which should make it run faster. I'll let you know once we've got a proper fix sorted. Cheers, Olivia
