Configuring Analytics ingestion intervals with the schedule builder
If you selected Schedule Builder in the Import Schedule list, you can use the schedule builder to configure the times at which Brightspot ingests data from Google Analytics. Examples of intervals are the following:
- Every hour.
- Every 15 minutes.
- Every Monday at midnight.
- Every Sunday at 1:00 am and 1:00 pm.
The following illustration is an example of an ingestion scheduled to run every 15 minutes.
The following sections describe the options available for different time categories. (The examples use a 24-hour clock.)
