Displaying Data quality Errors

If an error was found in an attribute when the validation quality rule was triggered, an error is displayed in the record card. The error contains the message that was set when setting up the quality rule, and the category of severity level. When clicking on some error messages, the attributes in which the error was found are highlighted in the record card.

Note

In the Community Edition, quality errors are not displayed in the record cards.
