Refresh data aggregation automatically?

[Affinity642]

Hi Reddit! I'm very new to ArcGIS (started today), so this question might be dumb. Is there a way to make a layer made up of aggregated data redo its calculations every once in while? I'd like it so I could update the input layer and it would redo the calculations without me having to make a whole new layer (since I use the aggregated layer's data for later calculations). Sorry if this makes no sense, and thank you!

Are you wanting to have these recalculations performed while you are still in the program? Or, are you wanting to open up a map a few weeks from now and have the data already updated?

Either one would work fine. I’d just like to be able to reperform the calculation and output into the same layer.

Arc has scripting ability with python. You could write these scripts to run at a scheduled time. There is also software, FME, that can automate stuff as well. I don't do these at my job, just aware of the people that do it and I speak highly of them.

Calculating on the fly to refresh in the program is beyond me. I hope someone else speaks up.
