# Recipe settings
Recipe settings are available at the recipe level in the Settings tab.
Recipe settings
This page is divided into the following sections:
# General
This section of the settings page enables you to determine recipe concurrency, keep track of recipes that monitor this particular recipe, and access resources to manage your recipes.
# Concurrency
The concurrency of a recipe determines the number of jobs that Workato can process simultaneously. Select a higher number for use cases that require high volume transactions.
The default value is 1 and the maximum value is 5.
LONG ACTIONS AND CONCURRENCY
When using long actions and setting the concurrency to 1, note that these long actions unblock subsequent jobs, allowing them to start processing. This can result in unexpected behavior, with jobs starting before the previous one finishes, despite the concurrency setting of 1.
To manage this, review the list of long actions and understand their impact on job processing order. If you require strict sequential processing, minimize the use of long actions or explore alternative approaches. Regularly monitor your recipe's job processing to identify and adjust for any unexpected behavior.
# Resources
This tab provides links to information you can use to keep track of what's happening in your recipe.
Usage metrics
Track usage and operational metrics for this recipe. Workato provides a link to your workspace's Dashboard with the relevant filters applied to allow you to view the metrics for this particular recipe.
Dependencies
See which assets are being used by this recipe. Workato provides a link to your workspace's Dependency graph with the relevant filters applied to allow you to view the assets dependent on this particular recipe.
Activity audit
Track activity related to this recipe's development. This section links to the Activity audit log with the relevant filters applied to allow you to view the activity for this particular recipe.
Copied from
If this recipe was copied from another recipe, Workato provides a link to the parent recipe along with the date and time the recipe was copied.
# Recipe monitoring
If you are using other recipes to monitor particular events in this recipe, the names of the recipes appear here, along with links. If you are not monitoring this recipe with other recipes, this section of the settings page does not appear.
# Data retention
Determine whether Workato should store jobs data for this recipe. This setting has two options:
Default retention policy
When selected, your workspace's data retention policy will apply. For example, if the retention policy is 30 days, the recipe's data will be retained for 30 days from the job's completion date.
Do not store
When selected, Workato won't store any data for the recipe. You might select this option to:
- Manage risk associated with storing sensitive or personally-identifying data.
- Decrease the latency of an API recipe by skipping log creation.
Before selecting this option, make sure the recipe doesn't require job logs. Refer to our data retention guide for more information.
RETENTION PERIOD STARTS WHEN A JOB ENDS
The retention period for a recipe job starts when the job ends.
For example, if your workspace's data retention policy is set to 30 days, the data from a recipe job is retained for 30 days starting from the job's completion date. This means that if a job begins on October 31st and completes on November 1st, the data associated with that job is retained until December 1st.
# Sharing
This interface allows you to share your recipes publicly in the community library or privately using a direct link.
RECIPE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT
This interface allows you to share a single recipe, but does not facilitate sharing any of the recipe's assets or dependencies. For more robust recipe sharing capabilities, use the Recipe lifecycle management feature to create manifest packages that include your recipe's connections, lookup tables, and more.
