Export Operation Introduction
The Export Operation lets you capture data-quality artifacts that the platform produces (anomalies, quality checks, and field profiles) and write them to your linked enrichment destination. Once the export finishes, the captured data is available as a container in that datastore, ready for BI tools, scheduled reports, governance dashboards, or audit trails.
What you can export
Each Export Operation captures one asset type per run:
- Anomalies: every anomaly the platform has identified on the selected containers (active, acknowledged, resolved, invalid, duplicate, discarded).
- Quality Checks: every quality check defined on the selected containers, including the rule type, scope, current pass/fail status, and the first and last times the check produced a result.
- Field Profiles: the most recent statistical profile of each field on the selected containers (completeness, distinct values, summary statistics, histograms, and more).
Why this matters
The Export Operation turns the platform's in-memory quality state into durable, queryable data:
- Operational reporting: connect BI tools (Looker, Power BI, Tableau) to the exported outputs instead of polling the API.
- Governance and audit: schedule recurring exports to keep a time-series record of quality artifacts in your data warehouse.
- Cross-system analysis: combine exported quality data with your business data to correlate anomalies with downstream impact.
How it runs
Triggering an Export Operation enqueues the work; the platform processes it asynchronously and writes the result to the enrichment destination. When Sync and profile the enrichment destination is on for the writing datastore, Qualytics then syncs and profiles the destination so the output appears in its container list. You can also schedule recurring exports in any IANA timezone.
