Concepts → Certification

The Data Certification feature in Incorta's Data Catalog enables Data Governers to mark specific data assets as verified and reliable. Certification provides a visual indicator to all users that the data asset has been reviewed and approved for use.

Purpose

  • Establish a formal certification process for data assets
  • Create a distinction between validated and unvalidated datasets
  • Promote trusted data sources within the organization

Certification Scope

Certification can be applied to:

  • Individual views within Business Schemas
  • Entire Business Schemas (which contains multiple views)

User Roles and Permissions

Only users with the Data Governor role have permission to certify data assets. This restriction ensures that certification remains a controlled process managed by designated data governance personnel.
