# How CRM Analytics and Salesforce Data Pipelines Work Together

CRM Analytics and Salesforce Data Pipelines are unique products, but settings, limits, and assets sometimes are shared or interrelated when you use both products. These features are shared when you use CRM Analytics.

## Use Data Between Data Pipelines and CRM Analytics

When using both CRM Analytics and Data Pipelines, select which product’s limits you want a recipe’s run and dataset to use. Use either product’s datasets as inputs when you build recipes to avoid recreating and updating recipes in both products.

- When saving a recipe for the first time, select either product. The product determines which limits and queue are used and which users have access to the data. For example, a recipe is associated with Data Pipelines. The recipe uses your Data Pipelines allotted monthly job runtime, and its dataset isn’t available to CRM Analytics users unless they also have a Data Pipelines license.
- To use data from a CRM Analytics or Data Pipeline recipe in the other product’s recipe, add the dataset as an input node. Reassign the license on the recipe as needed. You must have a CRM Analytics and a Data Pipeline permission set to see datasets from both products.
- Manage and track the product associated with recipes and datasets on the Data Manager. On the Recipes tab, sort the recipes by product (1), or change the association with the recipe’s License dropdown (2).
    
    ![When viewing assets, choose the product that is showing and change a recipe's associated product.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/resources-global/analytics/images/sdp_data_manager_recipe_product_selector.png)
- On the Data Assets tab, view the data associated with each product by using the product dropdown (1).
    
    ![When viewing assets, choose the product that is showing.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/resources-global/analytics/images/sdp_data_manager_assets_product_selector.png)
    
    Before you click **New Dataset** (2) to upload a local file, use the product dropdown to set which product’s limits and resources to use.
