Hi Community!

In the next few days, we will discuss Monitoring Projects, a powerful tool to evaluate and monitor data quality over time for selected catalog items. Monitoring projects use DQ checks, automatic anomaly detection, and structure checks to maintain data quality.
 

We also have a short video introduction to Monitoring Projects, go check it out here

If you are ready, let's dive in 🤿
 

Accessing Monitoring Projects

To access Monitoring Projects:

1. Go to the left-hand menu and select Data Quality.
2. Choose Monitoring Projects.
    

   

    

In this section, you'll find all configured projects. If you want to start a new project, click Create.

Each project listed will show the following information:

• Name: The project's name.
• Terms: The glossary terms associated with the project.
• Items: The number of items monitored within the project.
• Latest run: The date of the project's last evaluation.

  

   

The current state of a project is indicated through row highlighting, showing if it's published, recently added, has changes requested, or a removal is requested.

Getting Started with Monitoring Projects
