Christmas and New Year have been and gone; for some, it’s back to work, so we present a quick read of some of the most recent updates to our Accurity platform.

Let’s take a look at what has happened recently…

Data Quality and Data Observability free online trial

The Accurity Data Quality and Data Observability solution has been around for a while, but we now have a free 14-day online trial. Sample data is included to get you started quickly.

This solution enables you to build trust in your data and the decisions you make based on them. You can implement data quality rules, monitor the outcomes over time, and automate data quality monitoring. Utilize intuitive, customizable dashboards to detect and predict data quality status to empower business users to analyze the issues and check the available data easily. Read our recent article to discover more resources about data quality.

Aggregate checks feature videos

The aggregate checks feature of the Accurity Data Quality and Data Observability solution allows you to group data quality rules into hierarchies, display their results on interactive dashboards, and drill down their branches based on relevancy weighting on every hierarchy level. We now have an introductory video along with a feature tutorial video. Watch the videos:

Interactive dashboards feature videos

Also getting an introductory video and feature tutorial video is our interactive dashboards feature. They are highly customizable dashboards that allow you to visualize the results of all measurements in the tool from a variety of perspectives, such as the trend of results developing over time. They also allow you to exercise control over displayed measurements, which can be run directly from the dashboard. Watch the videos:

Guided tours are now available in Accurity Business Glossary and Data Catalog

Our Business Glossary and Data Catalog SaaS just got even easier to use. We are now adding guided tours for those on the free Starter plan version. These tours currently include a business glossary introduction, a data catalog introduction, how to add custom properties, how to work with data lineage, and how to add/invite users. You can sign up for the Starter plan totally for free – no credit card is required, and it is free forever.

Guided tours are also launching for Accurity Data Quality and Data Observability

We’ve also just launched the first set of guided tours for the Data Quality and Data Observability free online trial. These include an introduction to the Data Quality and Data Observability solution, root cause analysis of data quality issues, and how to set up data quality rules. Check them out by signing up for the free trial.

Data profiling for Google BigQuery and MongoDB

This is an update to our data profiling feature specifically to allow users the ability to profile uncommon databases such as the cloud database Google BigQuery and the NoSQL database MongoDB. This allows users to tap into real data on the data field level of the data catalog and display statistical information (data profile) about them.

Apart from getting a general overview about the actual content of data fields, the information gained from this data profile can be used as an inspiration when creating rules for measuring data quality or assisting in the gathering of statistical results useful for reporting purposes. In addition, technical users will benefit from gaining knowledge of what data is actually being stored in columns of tables whose metadata is captured in the data catalog.

The feature is included in the Premium and Custom plans of the Business Glossary and Data Catalog solution / Business Data Model and Data Catalog solution.

Bug fixes and documentation update

We constantly update our Accurity platform with bug fixes and tweaks to our documentation. If you are using the Accurity Business Glossary and Data Catalog SaaS, the documentation can be found by clicking the “?” in a circle icon in the top right.
