AI Managed Checks Introduction

Overview

An AI Managed check is a quality rule that Qualytics AI writes for you after a Profile operation. The platform looks at the data and decides which rules make sense based on what it sees — for example, it might decide that a customer-id column should never be null, or that a price column should always be positive.

Because Qualytics AI manages these checks for you, the platform also keeps them up to date: the next Profile run can adjust an AI Managed check, and Qualytics may even drop a check if the data no longer suggests that rule. This is great for getting started quickly, but it also means any tweak you make on an AI Managed check could be overwritten the next time Profile runs — unless something tells Qualytics that you have taken responsibility for the rule.

That "something" is the AI-Managed-to-Authored conversion: as soon as you change one of the properties that controls how the check evaluates the data, Qualytics turns the check into an Authored check. From that moment on, you own the rule, and Profile runs leave it alone.

Why this matters

Without the conversion, your edits would be temporary. You could open an AI Managed check, lower its coverage from 100% to 99.5%, save it, and feel safe — only to have the next Profile run reset your tuning. The conversion exists to make sure your work sticks.

It also gives you a clear way to take ownership: an Authored badge on the check is a signal to your teammates that this rule was reviewed and tuned by a person.

Edits that turn an AI Managed check into an Authored check

The conversion happens automatically when you change any of the following on an AI Managed check:

  • The rule properties — the values that define what the rule actually checks. For example, the threshold on a Min Value check, the regular expression on a Matches Pattern check, or the list of accepted values on an Expected Values check.
  • The coverage — the percentage of records the rule must satisfy.
  • The filter clause — the SQL WHERE expression that limits the rows the check evaluates.
  • The fields the check applies to — adding, removing, or replacing a field.

You don't need to confirm the change in a dialog: the conversion happens silently as soon as you save the edit.

Edits that keep the check AI Managed

Some edits are organizational and don't change how the check evaluates data. They are saved without converting the check:

  • The description.
  • The tags.
  • The additional metadata (key-value pairs).
  • The anomaly message field.
  • The owner.
  • The anomaly assignee.
  • The check status (for example, switching between Active and Draft).

This means you can document, categorize, and triage AI Managed checks without taking them out of automatic management.

What changes after the conversion

Once an AI Managed check becomes Authored, three things happen:

  1. The check's badge in the Check Summary switches from AI Managed to Authored, so anyone looking at the check can tell at a glance that it is user-managed.
  2. Profile runs no longer touch the check. Qualytics will not change its rule, coverage, filter, fields, or status during future Profile operations, and it will not delete the check even if profiling no longer detects the same pattern in your data.
  3. If the AI Managed check was originally owned by Qualytics, ownership is transferred to you — the user who edited it. The check then shows up in lists like "checks I own", and notifications about the check follow you instead of Qualytics.

How to go back to an AI Managed check

There is no one-click "revert to AI Managed" action. If you want a check back in the automatically managed set, delete it and run a new Profile operation — Qualytics AI will recreate an AI Managed version of the rule if it still detects the same pattern in the data.

Use the conversion to your advantage

When you fine-tune an AI Managed check so it matches your business rule exactly — for example, lowering the coverage from 100% to 99.5% to allow a small known exception — the conversion to Authored ensures the next Profile run won't undo your tuning.
