Use Full Update if you have changed the configuration of your Data Source

Use Incremental Update if you need to recalculate metrics based on the latest data from your Data Source

Overall, Incremental Update gets run automatically on a daily basis, so that each morning you get the freshly recalculated metrics on a dashboard just like a cup of a good morning beverage

Once you have launched an update, Perf will need some time (usually 5-10 minutes) to fetch the data from the Data Source. The duration of this operation depends on:

• Amount of data. It takes longer for large projects

• Data Source Rate Limits. Sometimes Jira or Gitlab or any other system limits the amount of requests per minute, and Perf has to slow down and adhere to these limitations.
