Improve the quality of your data

Data quality assessments are available throughout Alfabet FastLane to ensure decision-making is based on reliable and precise information. Each user has a dedicated view listing the data quality rule violations for the assets that they are responsible for with links that open the location where the data quality issue can be fixed. Click Data Quality Issues in the left navigation panel to open a report listing all areas where you can improve the data for the assets that you are responsible for.

Alfabet FastLane enables you to view your data and assess the data quality at every stage of your work. Data quality issues are highlighted directly in the data workbench and content area so that critical information can be fixed via inline editing right on-the-spot. Dedicated data quality reports are also available for every business question to ensure that the value of your data is understood when making strategic decisions about the IT.

Data quality assessments are available to all users, regardless of access permissions. Users will only be able to correct data quality issues for assets if they have relevant write permissions. Right after the data is changed, the data quality rules are recalculated immediately and the data quality scores are updated in the user interface.

 

Ensure that the column Data Quality Severity is displayed in the data workbench to quickly identify which assets require attention. In the data table, click the Navigate   button for an asset that has the value Error or Warning. In the content area, fields that have a data quality issue have a colored border around them. Point to the cell to show a tooltip about how you can improve the data quality. Once the data quality issue is resolved, the color border will no longer be displayed.

You can also go to the Data Quality page to view a data quality report with all data quality issues that need to be resolved for the asset. Click the links in the Resolution column to navigate to the location where the pending issue can be fixed.
