Start a Refresh Task Manually
You can refresh extracts of data hosted with most cloud data providers directly on Tableau Cloud. You can run a refresh from Tableau Bridge for data sources you’ve set up there.
If a data source has scheduled refreshes, running a manual refresh does not affect the schedule.
Run a refresh on Tableau Cloud
-
Sign in to the Tableau Cloud site to which the data source is published.
-
On the Data Sources page, select the More actions icon (…) next to the data source you want to refresh, and then select Refresh Extracts from the menu.
-
Under Refresh Now, select Full Refresh.
Note: For data sources that have scheduled refreshes, site administrators can initiate a refresh also from the Actions menu on the Tasks > Extract Refreshes page.
Run a refresh in the Tableau Bridge client
Open Tableau Bridge from the Windows system tray, and select the Run now icon () for the data source.
