Dashboard Design stuck on Initializing....

We are using Dashboard Design version 6.0.5.0 Build 14,0,5,974. For some reason when I go to Preview after working on the dashboard for a while it will get stuck on Initializing… The only solution I have found it to start over and create a new dashboard (one simple universe, two Query Prompt Selectors, and a column chart). The one thing I suspect (since it is not officially supported by SAP) is that they have recently upgraded my MS-Office to 2013.

Yup, that’s probably a big part of the problem. Dashboard Designer does not play well with Office 2013. You will find all sorts of annoying bugs.

The best solution is actually to export the SWF and then open it. Shockingly, this is actually significantly faster than clicking Preview.
