Accessing Data Quality in Catalog Pages

The Alation Data Quality widget is embedded directly into cataloged objects and is available on tables, columns, and schemas under a right-collapsible menu.

This information helps you to:

  • Instantly assess data trustworthiness while exploring metadata

  • Quickly identify problem areas for operational datasets

With the widget, you can view the following information:

Details

Score

Displays the overall data quality score for the object, along with scores for each relevant quality dimension (such as Accuracy and Completeness), calculated based on the data quality checks defined for the object.

Monitor Summary

Displays the monitors linked to this object, along with their pass or fail status, schedule, and the number of applicable checks. Only the checks from each monitor that are relevant to this object are included, so the check count reflects the subset specific to this table not the total number of checks defined in the monitor.
