Summary View Properties

The following table describes the profile results summary properties:
Property
Description
Name
Displays the name of the column or rule in the profile.
Null Distinct Non-Distinct %
Displays the null values, distinct values, and non-distinct values in percentages for a column or rule output. You can view the values in a horizontal bar chart.

Displays the multiple patterns in the column as horizontal bar charts. You can view the pattern characters and the number of similar patterns in a column as a percentage when you hover the mouse over the bar chart.

Displays the minimum and maximum values in the column or rule output.
Length
Displays the minimum and maximum length of the values in the column or rule output.
Data Type
Displays the documented data type of the column or rule. Displays the inferred data types when you hover the mouse over the field. The Analyst tool can infer the following data types:
  • String
  • Varchar
  • Decimal
  • Integer
  • Date
You can also view the percentage of conformance based on the inferred data types.
The Analyst tool cannot derive the data type from the values of a numeric column that has a precision greater than 38. The Analyst tool cannot derive the data type from the values of a string column that has a precision greater than 255. If you have a date column on which you create a column profile with a year value earlier than 1800, the inferred data type might show up as fixed length string. Change the default value for the year-minimum parameter in the InferDateTimeConfig.xml, as required.
Data Domain
Displays the names of the data domains associated with the column along with the percentage of conformance and the number of conforming rows.
Business Term
