1. Connect to your data source(s) quickly and securely

To add a new data source, go to Settings > Integrations. Then, navigate to Datasources and click New Datasource. You can choose a data source of your choice from the list.

ℹ️

Note: Only admin users can add new data sources.

2. Add Data Source to the Workspace

Once your data source is connected, it will be added to the platform but not to your workspace. To link a specific data source to your workspace, go to Settings > Workspaces > Datasources.

After linking, Datachecks will automatically scan your data and suggest validations to ensure data accuracy and reliability.

3. Get Validations Suggestions

Validation suggestions are automatically generated for all new datasets added to Datachecks. You can view these suggestions in Assets when accessing a data source, schema, or table by navigating to Validation Suggestions.

You can search or use filters to find relevant validations. You can enable or reject recommended validation one by one, or bulk enable them by selecting the checkbox in the validation table header.

4. Monitor Alerts

When a validation detects values outside the expected threshold, an alert is triggered and sent to your configured notification channel. You can view all alerts from the Collections section or the Alerts tab, depending on what is relevant to you.

You can filter alerts by status, data source, and validations. You can acknowledge alerts, mark them as incidents, or investigate them to track issue resolution.

5. Create Collections

Collections allow you to group related validations for easier management. For example, you can create a collection to monitor critical data pipelines or specific business metrics.

To add a validation to a collection, select Validation from Assets, check the checkbox next to the relevant validation, and click Add to Collection.s
