Use the Data Quality Monitor Heat Map

Statuses are rolled up from the lowest level to the higher levels, according to the "One negative – All negative" rule. For example, if an underlying status is red, then the overall status would be red. The same rule applies for the other color codes. Data Quality Monitor error codes are captured in the Automation Center's exceptions tables. You can add and manage error codes in the Automation Center's Exceptions workspace. See Manage and Resolve Exceptions in Automation Center .

• Begin Effective Date. The first effective date of the data you want to test.
• To Effective Date. The last effective date of the range of effective dates you want to test.
