Summary: Under Scheduled refresh add an option to refresh only if the previous refresh failed.
Justification: We are aware of scenarios where people schedule extra refreshes as insurance just in case their primary refresh cycle(s) fail.
The PBI Service can assist in improving efficiency and reducing redundancy in computing loads by providing a conditional refresh option.
