Update a Product
Data producers can use the Product Update toggle to control the product’s last refresh date. This can be used to trigger tasks or exports that are set up as repeating.
The last refresh date of a product can be updated manually or set to update in sync with an identified asset that the product contains.
While an update to this last refresh date represents a trigger for downstream processing, where the data is accessed in a space or exported on demand, the data available in each separate asset may be more recent than the last refresh date shown on the product.
See here for information on how to configure updates to data assets.
