To properly manage data, an MDM system provides support for information governance functionality such as policy evaluation, creation, and collaboration, as well as policy change management and impact analysis.
To meet these needs, the following functionality is available for use in STEP:
- Policies that monitor data and data streams
- Notifications in the UI and via email that inform users of deviations in the data quality
- Metrics to define data quality
Initial Workbench Configuration
To set up Data Policies, on a Customer MDM-supported system, some objects must be created and some permissions must be added for the associated users. For information on configuring the workbench, see the Configuring Workbench to Create Data Policies section in the Data Policies topic here.
Configuring a Data Policy
For general guidelines on Data Policies, see the Data Policies topic in this documentation here.
To begin, a completeness, value, or function metric must be configured. For information on configuring a metric, see the Completeness Metrics topic (here), the Value Metrics topic (here), or the Business Function Metrics topic (here) of the System Setup documentation.
