Browse data quality results

Tracking and understanding data quality results is key to maintaining reliable and accurate data. The portal provides multiple views for accessing these insights, helping you monitor rule performance, identify issues, and gain actionable insights to improve your data. Below are the main places where you can view and explore data quality results.

You can see a data quality score displayed on the column's overview for every column with assigned data quality rule instances. This score represents the average percentage of all rule instances applied to the column, giving you a quick snapshot of its health.

Dashboards

Dataedo dashboards provide a comprehensive understanding of your data quality:

  • The Overview Dashboard offers critical statistics, including the overall data quality score, the number of defined rule instances, and a breakdown of data quality runs by status. These metrics provide a quick snapshot of your system's health.
  • The Insights Dashboard highlights actionable data, such as identifying empty columns and tables, missing data in unique columns, and columns with significant row count changes (increases or decreases). These insights help you detect issues early and prioritize fixes efficiently.

Instance status

Each rule instance has one of the following statuses:

  • OK
    : All rows passed the assigned rule, confirming the data meets expectations.
  • Fail
    : Some rows did not meet the rule criteria and require attention.
  • Error
    : An issue occurred during the data quality check, which could result from:
    • A timeout
    • Incorrect parameters
    • A filter problem
    • An issue with the failed rows definition

You can view detailed information on the instance details page to investigate errors. Navigate to the instances list for a column, table, or the Data Quality section in the main menu. Click the instance ID to be redirected to its details page, where the error information and status are displayed. This process allows you to diagnose and resolve issues effectively.
