Report a Data Issue

Flag potentially incorrect data for your administrator to fix.

Overview

If you notice incorrect values or missing data in the solution experience, you can quickly flag these issues and suggest corrections for an administrator to review. These data errors can be fixed in a timely manner as your administrator can validate and publish the corrections without having to wait for the source systems to be updated.

You can report data issues for attributes and events:

• Attributes are characteristics that pertain to a given subject or event that can be used for analysis. Attributes of the Employee subject include Birth Date, Education, Job Name, and Hourly Rate. For example, you can submit a data issue if you see the wrong Hourly Rate value listed for one of your reports.
• Events represent an incident at a specific point in time that occurred to a subject. An Interview is an event that occurs at a point in time and is associated with an Employee subject (the interviewer) and an Applicant subject (the interviewee). For example, you can report a data issue to request the removal of a duplicate event such as an Interview.
