DataWorks:View data governance results

Last Updated:Aug 29, 2023

After check events and governance issues are handled, you can view data governance results in the form of governance reports or governance rankings on the Assessment page in Data Governance Center. You can analyze data governance results to identify the dimensions and types of governance issues that frequently occur. This helps you take measures to handle the governance issues and achieve your goal of data governance. This topic describes how to view and analyze governance reports and governance rankings.

Prerequisites

Background information

Data Governance Center uses a built-in health assessment model to perform a quantitative assessment on the data governance effectiveness of your account and generates an overall health score and a health score for each governance dimension. A higher health score indicates a better governance effectiveness. For more information about health scores, see Quantitative assessment: health scores.

You can view data governance results from different governance dimensions in the form of governance reports or governance rankings on the Assessment page.

  • Governance reports

    On the Report tab, you can check the governance effectiveness based on an overall health score and an overall assessment of data governance from the global perspective, workspace perspective, or personal perspective. You can also view the health score, health score trend, and governance issues that need to be handled from the computing, storage, R&D, security, and quality dimensions. This allows you to identify the dimensions and types of governance issues that frequently occur and organize your governance work in an efficient manner. For more information about how to view governance reports, see View a governance report.

  • Governance rankings

    Governance rankings help you manage data governance work. You can view the rankings of governance units, workspaces, and user accounts based on the governance effectiveness in handling governance issues and check events. For more information about how to view governance rankings, see View governance rankings.
