When you set up a query as an aggregation task, it will give you great performance when you use it to feed widgets in an Activeboard, and also Devo applications. This is because an aggregation task creates a background task that continually updates and aggregates the query's values. This way new data is more quickly reflected in the widget the aggregation task is feeding. There is a yellow fast forward icon on widgets that can be optimized using aggregation tasks.

Using aggregation tasks (former data sources) in Activeboards Keep in mind that in Activeboards, aggregation tasks generated from a widget's source query are automatically used to optimize the widget performance, so you don't need to do anything more afterwards. Learn more about Activeboard widgets and how they work in Using widgets. |

To create and manage aggregation tasks you need to have the manage version of the Domain aggregation tasks permission. The view version allows you to see existing aggregation tasks but not to manage them or create new ones (know more about permissions here).
