You log into Enterprise Data Catalog and search for tables, such as the Sales_details_Q1, Sales_details_Q2, and Sales_details_Q3, for your report. You want to know if the tables are reliable for the report. To find out if the tables are reliable, you view the reviews, ratings, or comments on the tables.
