Learn about data quality, its purpose, and how it helps identify invalid or missing data.
In this article
School Passport calculates a data quality score for each application. To calculate this score, the system uses a series of rules to identify duplicate, incomplete, or missing information in each application. The Data Quality scores are based on the data requirements.
For each application, School Passport reviews the data provided, identifies any errors, and thoroughly checks for duplicates.
Data quality issues
For correct data use, it is required to make sure the data you use is clear and matches the Vendor's requirements. If your data doesn't meet the data requirements for the application's Vendor, such data may not be processed by an application and will be subject to disapproval.
- Errors issue refers to records with data that do not meet the specified requirements. Records with this issue will be sent to Export application.
- Skipped issue refers to records that do not have required data for sharing. Records with this issue will NOT be sent to Export application.
- Duplicates issue occurs when the same data is imported multiple times.
For more information on how to resolve such issues, see Troubleshooting Data Quality Issues.
