1. In CRM Analytics, click **Data Manager** in the left pane to open Data Manager.
    
    Data Manager opens to the Monitor tab with the Jobs view selected.
2. Click the **Dataflows & Recipes** tab.
    
    ![Start action in dataflow actions menu](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_integrate_dataflow_start_action.png)
3. Click the triangle ![Actions button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/resources-global/analytics/images/actions_button.png) to the right of the dataflow you want to run, and select **Run Now**.
    
    The dataflow job is added to the job queue. The **Start** action is grayed out while the dataflow job runs.
4. After the job completes, CRM Analytics sends an email notification to the user who created the dataflow.
    
    The email notification indicates whether the job completed successfully. It also shows job details like start time, end time, duration, and number of processed rows. If the job failed, the notification shows the reason for the failure.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note If the dataflow creator is not an active user, the notification is sent to the user who last modified the dataflow schedule or definition file.
5. To stop a dataflow job that is currently running, click ![Stop Job button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_integrate_stopjob_icon.png) next to the job status.
    
    If you click **Start** to restart a stopped dataflow, the job starts over—the dataflow job does not resume from the point at which it was stopped.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note A dataflow automatically restarts if it is forcibly terminated by an external process like patches to the OS or Maestro, specifically bifrost.

You can monitor the dataflow job on the Monitor tab to determine when the dataflow completes. After the dataflow completes successfully, refresh the CRM Analytics home page to view the registered dataset.
