Data Observability platform Help

Actions

The Actions menu below a profiling object's settings collects the object-wide operations: Execute all rules, Backfill profilings, Test case suggestions, Get report (a downloadable HTML profiling report) and Add rules (default rules for every column without any).

ProfilingViewRules

Which entries are shown depends on the object and on privileges, so the menu is not always the full list:

  • Backfill profilings only appears when the object has a date or timestamp column, since the backfill needs one to filter past days by

  • Execute all rules and Backfill profilings require execute rights

  • Test case suggestions requires the Add/edit test cases privilege

  • Add rules requires the Add/edit profiling objects privilege

Delete is not part of this menu; it sits beside Save in the footer and removes the whole profiling object.

Bulk rule actions

The pencil button in the Profiling rules panel header switches the list into selection mode. A checkbox appears on every rule, rules can be ticked across different columns, and the panel header turns into a toolbar showing how many are selected with the actions that apply to them: execute, clear history and delete. The X leaves selection mode again.

ProfilingSpecificRule

Managing a single rule across all objects is done from the rule's Usage tab under Manage profiling rules.

Test case suggestions

The system leverages historical profiling data to automate the generation of data validation tests. It detects patterns, correlations, and inferred business rules to suggest context-aware validation rules.

Suggestions derived from profiling data are listed as soon as the modal opens, each with its Description, the SQL it would run and the Expected result. An icon on each row marks whether it came from profiling data or from the AI.

  • Context - what the AI may see: Metadata (always), Column values, and Sample data (requires the Refresh sample data privilege)

  • Load AI suggestions - AI suggestions can be loaded by clicking the Load AI suggestions button

  • Test suite - All selected suggested test cases will be generated in chosen test suite.

  • Create selected - All checked suggestions will be created

Once at least one suggestion has been turned into a test case, the list splits into New suggestions and Already used in test cases, each with its own count. Until then it stays a single flat list.

Suggestion actions

All suggestions for profiling object can be viewed by clicking Actions-> Test case suggestions.

profilingSuggestionsRemove
  • Click box-arrow icon to open the test case's detailed view. The status dot next to it shows the linked test case's latest result.

  • To remove relation between test case and suggestion click on trash icon. Removing relation does not delete test case.
