Why There's No Cross-Dataset Sync Activity View
A common question is whether NinjaCat offers a single, platform-wide view of sync activity across all of your datasets — for example, a dashboard listing every dataset's recent sync runs in one place. This article explains the current behavior and the recommended workaround.
There Is No Platform-Wide Sync Activity View
NinjaCat does not provide a single, cross-dataset view of sync activity. There is no consolidated screen that lists sync runs across all of your datasets together.
It's also important to understand what's available per dataset: NinjaCat tracks only a single most-recent sync timestamp for each dataset — there is no per-dataset sync history log and no record of prior sync runs. Each new sync simply overwrites the previous timestamp.
The one place this timestamp surfaces to users is a "Last synced: X ago" chip shown next to each dataset in the dataset-selection modal when you're building or editing a report. There is no separate sync-history page or dashboard. If a dataset has never completed a sync, this chip reads Last synced: -- rather than a relative time.
The Workaround: Check Each Dataset in the Dataset-Selection Modal
To check sync recency, open the dataset-selection modal in the report editor. Each dataset listed there displays a "Last synced: X ago" chip indicating when it last completed a sync. To review multiple datasets, scan their chips in that modal one at a time.
Note that this shows only the most recent sync time per dataset — not a history of past syncs.
