Troubleshooting

  • Query returns no rows
    • Check date filters, status filters, and table/column names.
    • Verify the table’s freshness indicator to confirm data has arrived.
  • Query times out
    • Narrow the time range, limit selected columns, aggregate earlier, and add LIMIT to preview.
  • Result too large
    • Add or lower LIMIT. Aggregate before exporting. Split by date.
  • Permissions error
    • Ask your Admin to confirm your Prism role and whether fields are masked for your plan.
