# Build Data Assets with Data Manager

Data Manager is the tool for creating, updating, and scheduling data assets—the datasets, recipes, and connectors that power Salesforce insights.

Use Data Manager to import data, transform the data with recipes, and create datasets you use for the latest and most complete picture of customer activity.

Data Manager lets you do most of your work declaratively through its intuitive graphical user interface.

To open Data Manager, navigate to the Salesforce app picker ![The Lightning Experience app picker](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/app_launcher_icon.png), and select **Data Manager**. Sometimes you must scroll or click **View All** to find it. See [Modify and Enrich Data with Recipes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.sdp_enrich_data_with_recipes.htm&type=5&language=en_US) for pointers to help get you going and master data in Salesforce.
