Getting Started with Datastore Quality Score

Data Quality Scores give data stewards an at-a-glance measure, from 0 to 100, of data health across datastores, containers, and fields in Qualytics. Scores are recorded over time and recalculated as relevant Profile and Scan operations complete or other quality inputs change. Eight quality dimensions show where data is meeting expectations and where it needs attention, helping you prioritize investigation and communicate changes to stakeholders.

In this section you will learn how scores are calculated, how to configure scoring settings, how the AI-augmented panel surfaces explanations and recommendations, and how to use scores to monitor data quality. Any user with the Member role and at least the Reporter team permission on the datastore can view scores; editing score settings requires the Editor team permission.
