For every profile you create, you need to define certain settings at the outset,
so that these don't need to be looked into every time you run profile analysis. These
settings include:
- Rules of data quality analysis
- Sample size for each table in the result
- List of users to whom the profiling results are to be sent automatically
Besides, you can also specify the number of tables to be run concurrently in
profiling and the number of runs that are saved for data preview. For details, see
Specifying Profiling Default Settings.
You can
configure your profile using the
Configure Profile stage of
the
Add Profile page. To do this, perform these tasks:
Note: For steps to reach the
Add
Profile page, see
Adding Data from Flat Files.
-
Specify the sample size of each table using the Sample size per
table field. For example, if you specify 10000, the analysis
will take into consideration 10000 rows of data in every analysis sample and
generate report for it.
Note: You can fetch random records while profiling your models or connections.
To enable this feature, select the Fetch Random
Records checkbox present below the Sample size
per table field.
-
From the list of Profiling rules, select the rules that
are needed for the type of analysis you want to perform on your data set. For
the list of profiling rules and their description, see Profiling Rules.
Note: You can filter rules using the type-ahead filter text box.
