Summary / TL:DR:
When receiving a ticket about data being off or delayed in ThoughtSpot, before sending to D&A confirm the worksheet and stats they’re looking at and check the ‘Last Reload Times’ liveboard:

You will need to do two things:
Checking and making sure they (the reporter) are aware of the SLAs
Example:
Affiliate ticket: My lead gen – List Level signups in ThoughtSpot for yesterday look low
First step towards resolution: Looking at SLA documentation, the data refreshes once a day at 12pm BUT only shows data thru 12pm (EST) the previous day, so not all the signups from yesterday will be reflected in the report. Do you still have concerns?
If yes, get more details and send over
If no, ticket can be resolved
Checking worksheet last reload times
Make sure the last updated timestamp is within the posted SLA. If not, escalate to D&A with that feedback – that the worksheet reload is past SLA so they can triage faster
IMPORTANT: Should use this in conjunction with SLA documentation. Just because the worksheet has been reloaded does not mean that all the data is up to date. A good example of this is the Lead Gen worksheets. Even when they reload, a lot of the data is only reporting through a certain time the previous day/two days ago
In the event that we are past SLA you may escalate the ticket to D&A to notify them that data sets are behind. This should only be escalated if we have breached SLA.
Wrap up
You should be able to resolve the ticket after referring users to this liveboard and understand when the data is last refreshed.
