Data Quality Rule Occurrence

A data quality rule occurrence is the business representation of a data quality rule that is run on data elements. You can rate a Data Quality Rule Occurrence asset to indicate your assessment of the quality of the asset or add your comments to the asset to provide your inputs on the data present within the asset. This enables different users to collaborate on assets and make collective decisions on using the data.

This enables different users to collaborate on assets and make collective decisions on using the data. For more information on collaborating on an asset, see the Working with Assets help.
You can view the number of open tickets and overdue tickets. Open tickets indicate the tickets pending in progress to track changes to the data quality rule occurrence. Overdue tickets indicate the tickets beyond due date that require your action. You can also view the lifecycle of the asset to know the particular stage of the lifecycle in the asset workflow.

Association of data elements with rule occurrences

You can associate data elements with rule occurrences through the following ways:

Overview tab

On the Overview page, you can view basic information about the rule occurrence. If the rule occurrence is created from an automated rule template, the term Auto- is prefixed to the name of the rule occurrence.
The following table describes the properties of the Overview tab:
Field
Description
Rule Template
Data quality rule template that defines the parameters of the rule for which the rule occurrence is generated.
Sync with Rule Template
Indicates whether the rule occurrence is synced with the rule template that you have specified.
If the rule occurrence is synced, the parameters defined in the rule template are applied for the data quality rule. The rule occurrence score inherits the technical rule reference, target and threshold values that you have specified in the rule template. The rule occurrence scores are updated according to the rule automation schedule that you have specified in the rule template.
If the rule occurrence is not synced, the rule occurrence is an independent asset that is not affected by the rule template parameters.
Description
Description of the rule occurrence. The size of the field should not exceed 1 MB.
Reference ID
Unique identifier for the rule occurrence.
Dimension
One of the six data quality dimension that applies to the data quality rule occurrence.
Default value is Accuracy.
Note: If the default value of the Dimension field that is specified here differs from what is displayed on the Data Governance and Catalog interface, the administrator may have defined a different list of dimensions. For more information about how your administrator can customize the data quality dimensions, see the Administration help in Metadata Command Center.
Measuring Method
Method by which the data quality rules for the rule occurrence are evaluated. The default value is Informatica Cloud Data Quality. You can choose one of the following values:
  • - Business Extract. The rule is measured on data that is exported for a particular business case.
  • - System Function. The rule is measured by a data quality system.
  • - Technical Script. The rule is measured by a script that is manually run by an analyst.
  • - Informatica Cloud Data Quality. The rule is measured by Informatica Cloud Data Quality.
Primary Data Element
Data element on which the data quality rule is run.
This data element is the input port for the rule in the integrated data quality system. The data quality score is always generated for the primary data element.
Secondary Data Element
Secondary input port for the data quality rule that is run on the Primary Data Element.
Technical Rule Reference
Rule specification in the data quality application that runs on the data element that is rule occurrence. Click the rule specification to open the rule in the integrated data quality application.
Criticality
Criticality of the rule occurrence. The value can be High, Medium, or Low. The default value is Medium.
Target
Minimum acceptable data quality value for the asset to be considered "Good". The default value is 90.
Threshold
Minimum acceptable data quality value for the asset to be considered "Acceptable". The default value is 70.
Frequency
Frequency of running the data quality rule that is defined in the rule template. The default value is Weekly. You can choose one of the following values:
  • - Daily
  • - Weekly
  • - Monthly
Note: If the administrator has configured data quality automation in Metadata Command Center to run as per a schedule defined for the catalog source, you cannot specify a frequency value for individual rule occurrences. In this case, the Frequency field is disabled.
Latest Data Quality Score
Data quality scores of the last rule run. The panel displays the composite score and score trend for the data element that is represented by the rule occurrence.
The panel displays the score trend in color according to the target and threshold values that are defined for the rule occurrence. For example, if the threshold value is 40 and the target value is 80, the scores appear in the following color:
  • - A score below 40 appears in red and is considered "Not Acceptable".
  • - A score between 40 and 79 appears in amber and is considered "Acceptable".
  • - A score above 80 appears in green and is considered "Good".
Profile Reference
The data quality rule that runs on the data element. Click the reference link to access the rule in the integrated data quality application.
Stakeholders
Users or user groups responsible for the rule occurrence or interested in the rule occurrence.
Asset Groups
One or more asset groups assigned to this asset. Asset groups allow users access to a set of assets in the organization.
You can assign asset groups to an asset if your organization administrator has granted you the Manage Access permission on the asset through access policies in Metadata Command Center.
Created By
User that created the rule occurrence and the date on which it was created.
Updated By
User that last updated the rule occurrence and the date on which it was updated.
