Postpone Opportunities

Overview

The Postpone Opportunities feature gives CloudFix users the ability to temporarily or permanently hide individual recommendations until a more convenient time. If you're not ready to take action on a recommendation—due to operational timelines, team constraints, or pending approvals—you can now snooze it with just a few clicks.

This feature helps keep your recommendation feed focused and relevant by excluding postponed items from your view for the duration you select.

Why It Matters

CloudFix is built to surface high-impact savings opportunities, but not every suggestion is immediately actionable. Without a way to manage timing, users can experience:

• Recommendation fatigue from seeing the same suggestions repeatedly

• Frustration from being overwhelmed by items that aren’t currently relevant

• Lower engagement and trust in the recommendation system

Postpone Opportunities addresses this by putting you in control of your workflow. You decide when you're ready to engage with each opportunity.

How It Works

1. Click "Postpone"
   In the context menu of any recommendation, select the Postpone option.

2. Choose a Duration
   You'll be presented with several postponement options:

   • 30 days

   • 60 days

   • 90 days

   • Permanent

3. Recommendation is Snoozed
   The recommendation will no longer appear in:

   • The active recommendation list

   • Dashboards

   • Alerts

4. Automatic Reactivation
   Once the postponement period expires, the recommendation is automatically re-evaluated for display, just like any active opportunity.

What Gets Stored

Each postponed recommendation is tracked with the following metadata:

• User who postponed it

• Timestamp of the action

• Selected postponement duration

• Scheduled reactivation timestamp

Key Benefits

• Keeps your dashboard focused on relevant, timely actions

• Reduces noise and decision fatigue

• Allows teams to align CloudFix actions with internal planning cycles

• Improves overall usability and trust in the recommendation engine

Notes

• Postponed recommendations are not deleted; they’re simply marked as "No Longer Applicable" until the defined time elapses.

• You can review postponed items in a separate view (coming soon).

• Permanent postponement can be reversed manually via Support or future UI updates.
