The Executions tab is where you run your Workflow and review its results. From here you can trigger a manual execution, monitor the pipeline steps as they run, and review a full history of all previous runs.
👉 Executions require Data, Pipelines, and Outputs to all be configured before a Workflow can be run. If any of these are missing, the Executions tab will display a "Complete your workflow setup" warning with a Define Output button to take you directly to the Outputs tab.
The Executions Tab
When you navigate to the Executions tab, you will see the Workflow Executions history table, which lists every previous run of this Workflow. For each run, you will see:
Status: Whether the run succeeded, produced a warning, or failed
Start Time: When the execution began
End Time: When the execution completed
Duration: How long the run took
Execution Mode: Whether the run was triggered manually or by a schedule
Output: A download link for the output results of that run
To start a new run, click the Execute button in the upper right of the tab.

Running a Workflow
After clicking Execute, the left panel displays Pipelines to Execute, showing each Pipeline and its individual transformation steps that will run. The right panel shows a live preview of the source data before transformation begins.
When you are ready, click the Execute Workflow button to start the run.

During execution, Nexadata processes your Pipelines in the following order:
All Supporting Pipelines run first, in their defined order.
All Output Pipelines execute next, transforming data into the final output schema.
Data is delivered to each configured Output destination.
Reading Execution Results
Once the Workflow completes, the view updates to show the full execution results.

Pipelines to Execute
The left panel shows every Pipeline and transformation step that ran, each marked with a green checkmark on successful completion. This gives you step-by-step traceability of exactly what happened to your data.
Workflow Results
Below the pipeline breakdown, the Workflow Results section confirms the overall outcome. A green banner reading "All Pipelines were executed successfully and the resulting output data was stored in all specified locations" indicates a clean run.
The results table lists each configured Output with:
Output: The name of the destination the data was sent to
Status: Whether the delivery succeeded, returned a warning, or failed
Download: A link to download the output data for previewing or verifying the result. This is only available for Nexadata-managed outputs. If the output was sent to an external target application, the download option will not be present.
Workflow Succeeded
A green Workflow Succeeded banner appears at the top of the execution view and as a green "Workflow succeeded" confirmation in the lower right corner of the screen. Clicking the banner resets the view so you can initiate a new run.
Workflow Schedules
Workflow Schedules allow you to configure a Workflow to run automatically on a recurring basis without requiring a manual trigger each time. You can set a Workflow to run on daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals, keeping your data fresh and automatically synchronized.
To configure a schedule, select the Schedules tab from the top navigation within the Workflow. Learn more in Workflow Schedules.
