Rules
The Rules page provides a centralized, policy-independent view of all rules configured across your data reliability policies. Rather than navigating into individual policies and executions to find a specific rule, you can search, filter, and investigate rules directly from a single listing page.
Rules are the fundamental unit of data quality evaluation in ADOC. Each rule defines a specific check — such as a null check, a uniqueness check, or a volume threshold — that is evaluated during a policy execution. The Rules page makes these checks visible and queryable at the platform level.
Navigating to the Rules Page
- In the left navigation, select Data Observability Cloud -> Governance -> Policies.
- Select the Rules tab. The tab is labeled with a Preview badge in this release.
Note
Only rules from policies that have had at least one successful execution are listed on the Rules page. Rules from policies that have never successfully executed do not appear.
Rules List
The Rules list displays all qualifying rules across every policy in your ADOC environment. Each row represents a single rule and shows the following information:
Column | Description |
Name | The rule name. Select the name to view the rule's execution history and detail. Rule names were introduced in ADOC 26.4.0. |
Asset | The data asset the rule is evaluated against, shown with its data source icon and type. |
Column(s) | The specific column(s) the rule is applied to, if applicable. Shown as "-" for asset-level rules. |
Rule Type | The type of check the rule performs (for example, Data Freshness, Change in Asset Size, Absolute Row Count). |
Dimension | The data quality dimension the rule maps to (for example, Timeliness, Accuracy, Completeness). |
Policy Type | The type of policy the rule belongs to (for example, Data Freshness, Data Quality). |
Policy Name | The name of the policy this rule is part of. |
Quality Score | The quality score for the rule's most recent execution, shown as a percentage. |
Result | The outcome of the most recent execution: Passed (green), Warning (yellow), or Failed (red). |
Last Executed | The date and time of the most recent execution for this rule. |
Filtering and Searching
The Rules page provides several controls to narrow the list to the rules you want to investigate.
Filter Bar
The filter bar provides three dropdown filters:
Filter | Description | Available Options |
Data Source | Filter rules to show only those evaluated against assets from a specific data source. | All connected data sources in your environment. |
Rule Result | Filter rules by the outcome of their most recent execution. | Passed, Warning, Failed. Select one or more. Select All to show all results. |
Dimensions | Filter rules by data quality dimension. | Accuracy, Completeness, Consistency, Uniqueness, Timeliness, and Others. Select one or more. Select All to show all dimensions. |
Each filter opens a dropdown panel with checkboxes. Select one or more options and select Apply Filter to apply. The filter label updates to show that a filter is active.
Policy Type Quick Filters
Below the filter bar, a row of quick filter buttons lets you instantly scope the list to a specific policy type. Select any button to filter the list to rules of that type only. Select it again to clear the filter.
Button | Shows |
Data Quality | Rules belonging to Data Quality policies. |
Reconciliation | Rules belonging to Reconciliation policies. |
Freshness | Rules belonging to Freshness policies. |
Anomaly | Rules belonging to Anomaly policies. |
Data Drift | Rules belonging to Data Drift policies. |
Schema Drift | Rules belonging to Schema Drift policies. |
Auto Anomaly | Rules belonging to Auto Anomaly policies. |
Search
Use the Search by rule or policy name field to locate a specific rule by its name or by the name of the policy it belongs to. The list updates as you type.
Rule Actions
Each row in the Rules list has a three-dot menu ( ⋮ ) with the following actions:
Action | Description |
View Policy | Opens the detail page for the policy that contains this rule, in read-only view. |
Edit Policy | Opens the policy editor so you can modify the policy configuration. |
Go To Execution Details | Navigates directly to the execution detail for the most recent run of the policy that contains this rule. |
Viewing Rule Execution History
Selecting a rule name opens a detailed view for that rule showing its last 10 execution results. This view provides:
- Total number of rows scanned during the execution
- Row failure count, if applicable
- Execution type
- Rule overview: the criteria and threshold configured for the rule
- Sample results, if available for the execution
Use this view to identify patterns such as intermittent failures, recurring rule violations, or changes in data volume over time without navigating through individual policy execution pages.
Rules at the Asset Level
A filtered version of the Rules page is available from within an individual asset's detail page. When you navigate to an asset and select the Rules tab (or equivalent), the same Rules list is shown scoped to only the rules configured against that asset.
This view is useful for:
- Seeing all rules applied to an asset across all policies in one place
- Identifying duplicate checks — for example, a null check on the same column configured in two separate policies
- Understanding the full rule coverage for an asset without opening each policy individually
Note
The asset-level Rules view shows the same columns and supports the same filters as the global Rules page, scoped to the current asset.
