Assign Exceptions

In Data Quality Monitor, you can assign exceptions to individual users or business groups using the Assign Exception feature. You can assign an exception manually in the Data Quality Monitor heat map, or create an assignment rule that applies validation rules or data quality rules that automatically assign exceptions.

Manual assignments are automatically cleared when a Performance Calculation or Automation Center event is submitted. Manual assignments are overridden by assignment rules.

Assign Exceptions Manually

When an exception appears in the Data Quality Monitor heat map, you can assign it to a user or group.
To assign exceptions manually:

  1. From the Performance Desk in Performance Center, open the Data Quality Monitor workspace, and select the records you want to assign using the checkboxes on the left side of the heat map.

Assign Exceptions Automatically

  5. Select User or Business Group as the Assignment Type. If you chose Group, then make a selection from the Assign to Users/Business Group drop-down list.

  6. Click Build Logic in Rules Conditions to create a rule based on Entity fields.
    You see the Logic Builder.

  7. Create the rule, click Save & Close, and then click Save.
