As it processes data, the system tracks statistical information
about performance and data for the incoming data source files that were loaded
into the system. This information is summarized for you on two reports: the
Data Source Summary report and the Load Summary report. The statistics on
these reports can help you quickly verify the system is processing all the
incoming data records, make operational decisions about system performance,
evaluate the quality of the incoming data, and show the number of new identities,
new entities, new relationships, and new alerts resulting from processing
the data files.
Procedure:
- In the Configuration Console, click the Status button.
- Click the Reports button.
- In the From Date field, enter the starting
date for the report using mm/dd/yyyy format. By default,
this field is populated with today's date.
This field can
be left blank, which means that the system reports all data within all other
specified criteria beginning with the date the system became operational.
- In the Thru Date field, enter the ending
date for the report using mm/dd/yyyy format. By default,
this field is populated with today's date.
This field can
be left blank, which means that the system reports all data within all other
specified criteria beginning through today's date.
- Optional: In the Data Source Code field,
enter a specific data source code to report on. The data source
code you enter must exactly match a configured data source code.
This
field can be left blank, which means that the system reports statistics for
all data sources within all other specified criteria.
- Required: From the Report drop-down
list, choose a report:
- Data Source Summary Report - This report provides
a quick statistical summary by data source of the records loaded and processed.
Use it to see how the total number of records loaded by data source file,
the total number of new identity records processed by data source file, and
the total number of new entity resolutions by data source file. The Data
Source Summary report is sorted by load date, load ID, data source, and data
source file.
- Load Summary Report - This report summarizes
statistics and quality characteristics by data source. Use it to see performance
information, quality of the data source file, and summaries of the data values
used to resolve entities, detect relationships, and generate alerts. The
Load Summary report is sorted by Load ID.
- Configuration Report - This report summarizes
current configuration settings.
- Required: Click the Run Report button
to generate the selected report.
The system generates the selected statistical report based on all
specified criteria and displays the report in a separate window.
What to do next:
Use the statistical information on the report to tune the system
or data files.
