Edit Anomaly Description

The anomaly description is a business-friendly explanation of the data quality issue. When an anomaly is detected during a scan, the system generates a default description from the failed check (filter conditions, thresholds, nature of the problem). Users with the Author team permission (or higher) on the datastore can edit that text to add context, clarify the business impact, or document investigation findings.

Editing the description

Step 1: Open the anomaly from the anomalies list. In the Description section, click the pencil icon next to the Description label (tooltip: Edit description) to enter edit mode.

Step 2: Make your changes in the editable text area. You can add bullet points, links, and formatting using standard Markdown.

Step 3: Click Save to persist your changes, or click Cancel to discard them and revert to the original description.
