Order refresh tables

Hi, 

 

Is there a way to find out the order of refresh of the tables when manual or scheduled refresh?
I have a table that includes another table (appended) and does the order of refresh important to make sure that the appended table is refresh first before the "main table"??

--> If the main table is refreshed first and than the appended table, the main table does not take into account the refresh of the appended table?

Generally speaking, if it is in Import mode, dataset will be refreshed in both the main table and the appended table during scheduled refresh or manual refresh; if it is in DQ mode or LC mode, when the data in the table changes, dataset will be refreshed. Therefore, if the import mode is used, then you can control the time of scheduled refresh, so that the scheduled time is after the main table data changes and before the attached table data changes.
