ـــــ Quality Rules ــــ

Validation rules applied to your data sources that calculate compliance automatically

Governata lets you define validation rules, link them to data sources, run the checks, and calculate the results, with passing and failing record counts shown for each rule.

Enforceable rules

Linked to sources

Automated checking

Passing and failing records

A written specification does not stop non conforming data from being entered

A policy stating a field is mandatory does nothing unless a check exists to surface the rows that broke it.

Six capabilities that turn a specification into a check

An enforced rule is the difference between knowing what your data should be and knowing what it is.

Defining enforceable rules

Writing a clear validation rule that can be run against the data, not a general description of what it should be.

Linking to data sources

Tying each rule to the table and database it is applied to.

Running the check

Executing the rule against the data and checking the records within its scope.

Calculating results

Showing total records checked and how many passed and failed, making the size of the violation clear.

Measuring compliance

Calculating the compliance rate automatically, so quality becomes comparable over time.

Adjusting and improving rules

Reviewing and modifying a rule as requirements change or where results prove imprecise.

How a rule works in Governata?

1
Define the rule

Writing the validation rule and setting the conditions it checks against the data.

2
Link to the source

Tying the rule to the table and database it will be applied to.

3
Run the check

Executing the rule against the records and calculating how many passed and failed.

4
Analyze and improve

Analyzing the result and adjusting the rule where needed to improve its precision.

Who benefits from Quality Rules in Governata?

Data stewards

Rules running continuously against the data, instead of manual checking that repeats and never ends.

Governance teams

Written quality policies turned into enforced checks whose compliance can be measured.

IT teams

Rules defined inside the software instead of scattered queries written and maintained by hand.

Data analysts

Knowing how far the data complies with its rules before relying on it in any analysis.

What the rules register shows?

Rule name

The name identifying the rule and indicating what it validates.

Table name

The table the rule is applied to within the data source.

Database

The data source the checked table belongs to.

Rule status

Whether the rule is active and running against the data or currently stopped.

FAQs about data quality rules

What is a data quality rule?

It is a defined condition applied to data to verify its validity, such as a field being mandatory or a value conforming to a format or range.

A specification describes what the data should be. A rule actually checks the data and produces a figure showing how far it conforms.

It is the share of records that satisfied the rule out of all records checked, and it is the most direct indicator of the rule’s effect.

Yes. Rules are adjusted as requirements change or where results prove imprecise and need tuning.

Because a rule without a source remains text. Linking it to a table and database is what makes it executable and measurable.

They are logged as a quality issue and assigned to an owner for remediation, then rechecked to verify the fix.

Apply quality rules that genuinely run against your data

Validation rules linked to their sources, executed with results and compliance rates calculated automatically.
