Data Quality

Manage Objects

Data Quality is delivered with a standard set of reports organized by object (which is a categorization). Reports can be configured by object and then published to a group to facilitate the manual process of adding reports to groups. These reports are delivered in the DGReports Repository and can be published to any group(s).

This use case consists of the following topics:

• Create Objects and Publish Reports to Groups
• Register Object Reports
• View Your Objects
• View Your Object Reports
