# Scheduling an extraction

Click on the edit task (pencil icon, seen on hover) button to open the popup.

There are two different versions of the scheduling popup. Which one a dataset uses depends on how the source data has been configured.

• The **simple scheduling popu. Will schedule an extraction from an entire dataset
• The changed data scheduling popup will allow you to specify an extraction only on data that has changed since a specific date

# Simple scheduling popup

The simple scheduling popup allows you to schedule an extraction of all the available data:

The name of the dataset will be automatically selected.

In the popup, then provide the following details for your scheduled task:

• Due: set a date and time for the task to first run
• Runs every: set an interval in minutes for the time between repeated extractions
• On error retry: set an interval for attempting to repeat an extraction after an error

# Changed data scheduling popup

The changed data scheduling popup allows you to schedule an extraction of data that has been updated since a given date, and to extract it in batches, which is useful.

The name of the dataset will be automatically selected.

In the popup, then provide the following details for your scheduled task:

• Extract changes from: create a date range (the second value is automatically ‘now’). The extraction process will then extract only data that has been changed in the source data during this time period
• Extract in batches of: specify a number and a time interval. The extraction process will then extract data over the given time period above in batches (e.g. choosing ‘5’ and ‘weeks’ will extract records that were changed in successive five-week periods)
• Due: set a date and time for the task to first run

You can ignore any of the following fields in this popup.
