# Set up timeliness tracking

Timeliness indicators show if the prediction or actuals upload frequency meets the standards set by your organization. Configure timeliness tracking on the Usage > Settings tab for predictions and actuals. After enabling tracking, you can define the timeliness interval frequency based on the prediction timestamp and the actuals upload time separately, depending on your organization's needs. If timeliness is enabled for a deployment, the health indicators retain the most recently calculated health status, presented along with timeliness status indicators to reveal when they are based on old data. You can determine the appropriate timeliness intervals for your deployments on a case-by-case basis.

To enable and define timeliness tracking:

1. From theDeploymentspage, do either of the following:
2. On theUsage Settingspage, configure the following settings: SettingDescriptionTrack timelinessEnable one or more ofTrack timeliness of predictionsandTrack timeliness of actuals. To track the timeliness of actuals,provide an association IDandenable target monitoringfor the deployment.Predictions timestamp definitionIf you enabled timeliness tracking for predictions, use the frequency selectors to define anExpected prediction frequencyinISO 8601format. The minimum granularity is one hour.
