Review source-level validations

On this page

This module focuses on the validation surface for source records.

Learning objective

Understand how validations help a steward identify bad values before they become golden-record quality problems.

What to learn

  • where validations are accessed;
  • when to use auto-validation vs manual validation;
  • what advanced validation is for;
  • how to read validation results and locate invalid values.

Access validations

Validation results

Invalid values

Exercises

  1. Open the Validations pane for a mapped data set.
  2. Run auto-validation and explain which fields CluedIn suggested.
  3. Add one manual validation for a field that matters to stewardship.
  4. Find invalid values and correct one example.
  5. Verify that the corrected value no longer appears as invalid.

Steward judgment to reinforce

Validations help you find evidence quickly, but the steward still decides whether the bad value should be corrected, escalated, or converted into a repeatable architecture change.
