Beast Mode Saving Confusion Improvement

nick_datasift

When you write a Beast Mode calculation and click validate and save, if correct, a green "Saved!" shows. This leads you to believe your calculation is saved but you have to click "Done" afterwards for it to actually save. On a number of occasions this has caused myself and coworkers losing the work by either x-ing out of the box or jumping to another page. It would make more sense for it to actually save at the point when it says saved.

If it's not possible to both save and validate a Beast Mode calculation at the same time, I'd at least prefer to have a pop up ask me "Are you sure you want to exit Beast Mode?" then deal with the frustration of losing an hour of coding.

@StevenC can you take a look at this please?

@CantStopTheHopp Thanks for this feedback. We are looking into this idea. Question for you, if you're creating a new card, and you create & save a new beast mode with out saving it to the data set but decide not to save the card, where would you expect to find this Beast Mode you created?

@ckwright I suppose I wouldn't expect that Beast Mode to be anywhere since if I didn't check the "Share Calculation on DataSet" box, then it probably wasn't something I wanted to reuse. Though I could see that also being something an "Are you sure..." kind of dialog box could help prevent.

 

So if I were to create a new card, then create a new Beast Mode without sharing it on the dataset, I could see value in a dialog box popping up when I hit "Cancel" that says, "Are you sure you want to cancel without saving this card? The following Beast Mode calculations are not shared with the dataset and will be deleted."

@CantStopTheHopp This great feedback, thanks for your insight on a better experience!
