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.

Navigate 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.

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 ID	The immutable, system-assigned identifier for the policy the rule belongs to. This value never changes regardless of policy renames. Hidden by default — enable it through the Columns selector in the top-right corner of the table. Combined with the rule name, Policy ID provides a stable, system-wide unique reference for any individual rule.
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.

The Rules table supports column customization. Click the Columns icon in the top-right corner to show or hide individual columns, including Policy ID. Column visibility is set per session and resets to defaults when the page is reloaded.

Filter and search

The Rules page provides several controls to narrow the list to the rules you want to investigate.

Filter bar

The filter bar provides the following dropdown filters. Filters support multi-select and can be combined for precise results. Select one or more options and click Apply Filter to apply. The filter label updates to show that a filter is active.

Filter	Description	Available Options
Data Source	Show only rules evaluated against assets from a specific data source.	All connected data sources in your environment.
Rule Result	Filter by the outcome of the most recent execution.	Passed, Warning, Failed.
Dimensions	Filter by data quality dimension.	Accuracy, Completeness, Consistency, Uniqueness, Timeliness, and Others.
Tag	Filter by tags applied to the rule or its associated asset. Supports multi-select and can be combined with other filters.	All tags available in your environment. Optional AND/OR logic may be available depending on your release.
Asset	Filter to show only rules evaluated against a specific asset. Supports multi-select.	All assets in your environment.
Column Name	Filter to show only rules applied to a specific column. Supports multi-select.	All columns associated with rules in your environment.
Last Execution Date	Filter rules by when they were last executed.	Predefined ranges (Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, and so on) or a custom date range.

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: Data Quality, Reconciliation, Freshness, Anomaly, Data Drift, Schema Drift, and Auto Anomaly. Select a button to apply the filter; select it again to clear it.

Search

Use the search bar to locate rules by typing @rule followed by a rule name, @policy followed by a policy name, or @column followed by a column name. The list updates as you type.

Only rules from policies that have had at least one successful execution are listed. Rules from policies that have never successfully executed do not appear.

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.

View the history of a rule execution

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.

View 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

The asset-level Rules view shows the same columns and supports the same filters as the global Rules page, scoped to the current asset.
