I'm really trying to migrate our users to our Lansweeper Sites instance, mostly so we can start leveraging a lot of the new features which are tied to it. But some of the behaviour just baffles me.
Why do the report schedules keep getting paused? For instance, on the main General Overview dashboard (the first thing users see), the "AD Users" widget keeps getting paused. It is schedule to refresh daily, and I know there are always going to be changes, but every time I bring it up, it is in a paused state. In fact, I manually ran it this morning (it has not run in the past week), and immediately after it ran, it returned to the 'Paused' state.
I have attached a screenshot of the message displayed if I hover over the 'pause' symbol. This is not the only such instance; I see this across the site for many of the regularly schedule reports. If someone can actually explain what this 'status' means and how we can fix it so our scheduled reports actually run on schedule, I would be very grateful.
Using Sites seems to be inevitable, but this kind of mysterious behaviour is a real stumbling block.

Hello StillGoing,
We've applied a specific scenario for scheduled reports based on the usage of a site. So, in short, if a scheduled report is not viewed frequently, its schedule could be disabled.
This is the full description:
The message appears when users are inactive for a defined period. The application tracks how many times a scheduled report is not consumed and calculates the percentage of consumed reports for each one of them. The approach will vary based on the report’s scheduling frequency:
A report is considered consumed if:
Reports that do not have any executions during the validation period will not be disabled. Depending on the nature of certain reports, it might be a good idea to change the schedule or even disable it to prevent this message.
