Subject: revision to Path Manager Auto Refresh

Based on feedback from multi-scheduler pipes, the refreshing of paths can
tend to slow down the other scheduer on the same pipe. This is especially
noticeable when many paths are changed at once. Even if it takes 1 - 2
seconds to refresh a path, changing 20 - 30 paths could cause the other
scheduler on that pipe to wait for 30 - 45 seconds.

We are developing a revised Auto Refresh option to let the scheduler pick
whether they want Deal changes or Path changes (or both or neither). To the
scheduler, it will simply be a change on the Path Manager filter to replace
the "Auto Refresh" checkbox with two checkboxes:
- Auto Refresh Deals
- Auto Refresh Paths
Once selected, this will be the default selection for the duration of that
Path Manager session just as the current selection works.

This will have no impact on how or when the data is stored in Unify, only
whether another PC should have its numbers updated. Nominations will process
all paths regardless of this new selection.

If our testing goes well, we may actually migrate this change to Unify
Production tonight. Please let me know if you know of any reason we should
not go forward with this plan or have any questions or concerns.

Thanks, d.n.
