Update your datasets by scheduling the data refresh.

We recommend chaining the sequence as follows:

  1. Data sync, if it is enabled in your org.
  2. Financial Analytics recipe.
  3. Financial Analytics dataflow.

If you chain the subsequent steps to run after the initial step, you must only schedule the initial step. This ensures that your data is always up to date.
