What’s Next?
For new assignments between a data source and TapClicks client records, an initial data fetch will occur. Each data source has a different lookback period which determines the amount of historical data that is fetched (measured in months, weeks, or days). To view the lookback period for this Data Source and the status of your data fetches as a whole, click Data Load Status in the Data Management menu on the left side of your dashboard.
