Update and Scheduling
Each destination has a settings tab, allowing you to configure various options such as how the destination is updated and how the visualizations are added.
This setting controls your destination update method: each time an update runs on your destination, it will follow this configuration.
- Update same file: The same file is updated with the latest data
- Archive & Update:
- The old content is archived & stored in your drive - An archive timestamp will be appended.
- The main file will be updated with the latest data
When you select Archive & Update as the update method, if an update fails (e.g., at least one visualization fails), the archival process will be canceled to prevent any data corruption in your historical files.
If you select Archive & Update please make sure to select the folder location in the Folder location section to ensure that all archives are generated in the same folder
More information in the Folder location section
You can configure automatic updates on a schedule by enabling Scheduling.
- Start Date: The first scheduled update date.
- End Date: The date after which the scheduled updates will not run anymore.
- Schedule Frequency: daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly.
- Schedule Time: Time of the update (in local time).
In case a schedule fails (e.g. at least one visualization fails) you will receive an automatic email with the details of the failures.
