You can monitor background jobs in your organization, such as when parallel sharing recalculation is running.

Parallel sharing recalculation helps larger organizations to speed up sharing recalculation of each object.

Note You can only monitor background jobs on this page. Contact Salesforce to abort a background job.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Background Jobs, and then select **Background Jobs**.
2. Review details of background jobs, which include a percentage estimate of the recalculation progress.
    - The **Job Type** column shows the background job that’s running, such as Organization-Wide Default Update.
    - The **Job Sub Type** column shows the affected object, such as Account or Opportunity, or the phase of the recalculation process, such as Person Account Access, Associated Portal Account Access, or Parent Account Access.

When the Job's **Status** is listed as Completed, sometimes additional operations must still finish before the changes are reflected in your organization. Depending on the operation, this process can take significant time.
