It prioritizes smaller and faster runs while ensuring that larger and longer runs are completed on time. Priority is automatically calculated based on factors such as historic runtime, dataset input size, and CSV file size. Priority scheduling is most helpful to smooth out occasional queue-time spikes. If you never or frequently see long queue times, then priority scheduling isn’t as helpful. Activate the feature in advance to manage your queue, not during a problem when your queue is already overloaded. This feature doesn’t increase your maximum number of concurrent runs. products: - CRM Analytics - Cross Cloud release: "264" --- # Schedule Smarter with Priority Scheduling Priority scheduling for CRM Analytics recipes automatically manages your run queue. It prioritizes smaller and faster runs while ensuring that larger and longer runs are completed on time. Priority is automatically calculated based on factors such as historic runtime, dataset input size, and CSV file size. Priority scheduling is most helpful to smooth out occasional queue-time spikes. If you never or frequently see long queue times, then priority scheduling isn’t as helpful. Activate the feature in advance to manage your queue, not during a problem when your queue is already overloaded. This feature doesn’t increase your maximum number of concurrent runs. ### Required Editions
Available in Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience.
Available with CRM Analytics, which is available for an extra cost in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions. Also available in Developer Edition.
For example, you schedule three recipes to run at the same time. One is larger with more rows and runs for 30 minutes. The other two are smaller with fewer rows and run for three minutes. The larger recipe’s run request arrives a millisecond before the shorter requests. Without priority scheduling, requested runs are queued first in, first out, so the smaller runs wait 30 minutes until the larger run finishes. With priority scheduling, the smaller recipes execute first because of their shorter run time, followed by the larger run. If higher-priority runs continue to queue in front of the longer run, the queue temporarily switches to first in, first out an hour after the scheduled request. 1. From Setup, enter Analytics in the Quick Find box, then select **Settings**. 2. Select **Use priority scheduling for recipe and dataflow requests**. 3. Click **Save**. ![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 You can disable priority scheduling at any time to return to a first in, first out queue. #### See Also - [Run a Recipe Manually](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_integrate_job_recipe_run.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Run a CRM Analytics recipe for the first time to create the datasets it defines.
