# Track Your Advocate Processes
Processes help you monitor activity related to your [calculated fields](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/advocate-program/manage-advocate-participants/custom-and-calculated-fields/calculated-fields-explained.md) and the [Participants table](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/advocate-program/manage-advocate-participants/filter-and-manage-advocate-participants.md). Whether you’re recalculating custom data points or refreshing stats for specific users, this page gives you visibility into what’s been done, by whom, and when.
You can use the *Processes* list to troubleshoot updates, verify that stat refreshes completed successfully, and check for any issues.
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage]** → **Data Sources**.
2. Next, from the list of options, select **Processes**.
#### Why use Processes?
Processes are especially useful when you’ve made updates to a [calculated field](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/advocate-program/manage-advocate-participants/filter-and-manage-advocate-participants.md) and want to ensure the changes have been applied to the correct participant records. Once a recalculation is triggered, a background process runs to apply that logic, and the status of that process is then recorded here. It provides assurance that updates have been processed as expected.
**Check the Processes page after:**
* Triggering a refresh of a calculated field
* Checking the last time it was updated
