Generate or Update a Dataset at a Specific Time

Schedule data flows to run once or at regular intervals at a specified time. Use scheduled updates to keep datasets current and ensure accurate, high-quality insights.

1. On your home page, click Navigator , then click Data, then click Data Flows.
2. Hover over a data flow, click Actions, then click New schedule.
3. In the Schedule dialog, specify the name, start date, start time, and repeat details.
   • Repeat - If you choose a weekly, monthly, or yearly repeat, the data flow executes on the next day and time that matches your selections, not on the date specified in the Start field. For example, if you create a schedule to run a data flow regularly on the first day of each month starting on 8/15/25, the first execution will start on 9/01/25.
4. If you’ve added parameters to the data flow, in the Parameters section, specify other values.
   • In the Source field, click the source dataset. In the Add Dataset dialog, select a new dataset and click Add.
   • In the Targets field, change the dataset name.
5. Click OK.
