Cancelling a Run
Cancelling a run is a forced stop of a report that is currently running. It's possible at the Pending and Running stages.
Before you begin
- Only an active run (Pending or Running) can be cancelled
- Completed runs (Completed, Partial, Failed) cannot be cancelled
- Partially written data may remain in the output sheet
- Cancellation is irreversible — an interrupted run cannot be resumed, only re-run from scratch
Step-by-step instructions
1. Open the report page
Go to the Reports section and open the report with an active run (status Running or Pending).
2. Click "Cancel Run"
The Cancel Run button appears on the report page only when there is an active run. It's located next to the progress bar.
3. Confirm cancellation
The system shows a confirmation dialog: "Are you sure you want to cancel the run?" along with a warning about possible partially written data. Click Confirm Cancellation.
4. Wait for the stop
The status changes to Cancelled within a few seconds. If the report was in the Load stage (writing data), stopping may take up to 30 seconds — the system finishes the current write operation before stopping.
5. Check the output sheet
After cancelling, check the output sheet: data may have been written partially, and depending on the write mode, the sheet may be in an intermediate state. Re-run the report if you need complete data.
Data state after cancellation
| Cancellation stage | What happens to the data |
|---|---|
| Pending | No data was written — sheet unchanged |
| Fetch | No data was written yet — sheet unchanged |
| Transform | No data was written yet — sheet unchanged |
| Load (Replace) | The sheet may be partially overwritten |
| Load (Append) | Some rows were appended at the end |
| Load (AppendDedup) | Some rows were appended; deduplication may not have run |
| Finalize | Data is fully written; cancellation is not possible |
How to verify
- The run's status in the history should change to Cancelled
- The run logs should include a record of the forced cancellation
- The output sheet may contain partial data
