Creating and Running Scorecards Overview

Creating and Running Scorecards Overview

A scorecard is the graphical representation of valid values for a column or the output of a rule in profile results. Use scorecards to measure and monitor data quality progress over time.
To create a scorecard, you add columns from the profile to a scorecard as metrics, assign weights to metrics, and configure the score thresholds. You can add filters to the scorecards based on the source data. To run a scorecard, you select the valid values for the metric and run the scorecard to see the scores for the metrics.
Scorecards display the value frequency for columns in a profile as scores. Scores reflect the percentage of valid values for a metric.
