Stability Level Preview

The updatePersistedAggregation() GraphQL mutation is used to make changes to a persisted aggregation.

To create a persisted aggregation, use the createPersistedAggregation() mutation. To enable and disable a persisted aggregation, use the enablePersistedAggregation() and disablePersistedAggregation() mutations. To delete one, use the deletePersistedAggregation() mutation. To get a list of all persisted aggregations accessible, use the persistedAggregations() query.

Syntax

graphql
updatePersistedAggregation(
     input: UpdatePersistedAggregationInput!
   ): PersistedAggregation!

For the input, you'll have to provide the name of the persisted aggregation to update, then any parameters you want to change, such as the schedule. See the Given Datatype section for more on this.

You can request several return parameters, but since you're updating a persisted aggregation, you probably won't want much. See the Returned Datatype section farther down this page for the parametrs.

Given Datatype

For the input datatype, you'll have to provide the name of the persisted aggregation to update, then any parameters you want to change, such as the schedule. The table below provides details on the parameters you can change, and a link to the scheduling sub-parameters:

Table: UpdatePersistedAggregationInput

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultStabilityDescription
Some arguments may be required, as indicated in the Required column. For return datatypes, this indicates that you must specify which fields you want returned in the results.
Table last updated: Mar 30, 2026

descriptionstring  PreviewA description of what the persisted aggregation does.
enabledboolean  PreviewWhether the persisted aggregation should be enabled.
labels[string]  PreviewA list of labels to tag the persisted aggregation for organizing and filtering. Each label can be up to sixty-four characters long and may contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.
newNamestring  PreviewThe new unique name for the persisted aggregation. It can be up to one-hundred twenty-eight characters long, must start with an alphanumeric character, and may contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. The name must be unique within the organization.
queryOwnershipTypeQueryOwnershipType  PreviewThe ownership type of the query. See QueryOwnershipType.
schedulePersistedAggregationScheduleInput  PreviewThe schedule configuration defining when and how often the aggregation runs. See PersistedAggregationScheduleInput.

Returned Datatype

For the returned datatype, since you'll provide the details of the persisted aggreation to be update, you probably won't anything return, other than maybe parameters to confirm. The table below lists your choices:
