Advanced Dataset Scheduling

You can customize when your data pipelines run by adjusting the daily job schedule. This allows you to control the timing of data requests to better align with your reporting needs or to help distribute API requests across different time windows.

How to Change a Schedule

  1. Navigate to Jobs Reports from the main menu

  2. Use the filters (Job Type, Days, Subscription ID) to locate the pipeline you want to modify

  3. Click the three-dot menu (โ‹ฎ) on the right side of the job row

  4. Select Change Schedule

  5. In the modal, set your preferred time using the Hour(s) and Minute(s) dropdowns

  6. Click Update Schedule to save your changes

Scheduling adjustments are considered an advanced function. The schedule defines the frequency at which your data pipeline will run. Changing job times without factoring in API-specific limits, retry windows, or data-settling behavior can lead to delays, errors, or partial data.

Concentrated request volumes (jobs running close to each other) can exceed API rate limits, resulting in throttling, repeated retry attempts, and significantly higher API calls. This can result in delays, errors, or gaps due to the upstream API refusing or delaying requests.

Instead, stagger your schedules across different time windows to distribute the request load.

If you have multiple pipelines across several markets or datasets, avoid scheduling them all to run at the same time.
