Time Series Analysis helps you monitor compliance standards and basic metadata for a data source over time, presenting results in an a List View format that can be exported.
Time Series works with both Baseline Analysis and Quality, as outlined in the following process:
-
Use Baseline Analysis projects or the Quality Analysis process to define the compliance standards for an entity and its attributes.
-
Analyze your data against these standards and determine what areas need attention. For example, you may find that several different patterns are used to enter phone numbers.
-
Use the profiling results to establish guidelines for data entry.
-
Use Time Series to monitor how well the guidelines are being followed when you receive new data feeds. For example, you can compare the compliance of the sales data between two regions, or you can compare compliance trends of your customer records from one quarter to the next.
