How do I check when Zoho Analytics last synced data?

Open the workspace in Zoho Analytics and go to its Data Sources section. Each connected source shows the last sync time, the last sync status and how many synchronisations have run. For a single table, open it and look at the last import details under the import options. If the time looks old, check the sync schedule and any error shown next to the status.

Zoho Analytics keeps sync information at two levels. The Data Sources page in a workspace lists every connector, file feed or database that brings data in. For each one you can see when it last synced and whether that sync succeeded. Many sources also show per-table details, such as when each table was last fetched. This is the fastest way to answer a manager who asks why a dashboard looks out of date.

If a sync failed, the status usually carries a short reason, such as an expired connection, a changed column, or a permission problem in the source app. For file and database imports, the table's last import details show how many rows were added or skipped. Fix the cause at the source first, then run a manual sync from the same screen to confirm it works before you wait for the next scheduled run.

It also helps to tell report users how fresh the data is. A simple text widget on the dashboard that states the sync schedule avoids confusion. Remember that sync frequency options depend on your Zoho Analytics edition and on the connector, so a source that syncs every few hours on one plan may only sync daily on another. Check the current Zoho help page for your connector if timing matters.
