# Runs

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/operations/runs/getting-started/

A **Run** is a single execution of an operation against a source datastore. Every operation that fires (manually, on a schedule, or via the API) is recorded as a Run with its own status, timing, summary metrics, and downloadable result.
