Click a tab to view the available fields and options. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Alerts" %} {% hint style="success" %} To sort a column, click the Arrow up icon Arrow down icon icons next to the column header. {% endhint %} | Column | Description | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Alert Name | The name of the alert for the selected dataset. | | Dataset | The name of the selected dataset. | | Condition | The condition configured for the alert. | | Alert Recipient | The webhook name or email address of the recipient of the alert email. | | Msg | A custom message pertaining to the alert. | | Batch Name | The name of the batch alert, if applicable. This is a group name for a set of email addresses of alert recipients. You can search for and select an existing batch name to quickly apply frequently used email recipient groups to an alert. | | Valid | The validity of the alert. If the alert is valid, a check mark displays in this column. | | Active |

Shows whether the alert is active for future runs of the dataset. Click the icon to activate or deactivate the alert.

The name of the rule.

Rule names must follow Spark naming conventions, which generally allow only letters, numbers, and underscores (\_) in names. If your rule name contains unsupported characters, such as hyphens, it may cause alert delivery to fail. To ensure the alert works correctly, enclose the rule name using quoting characters supported by your connection, such as backticks (\`), double quotes ("), single quotes ('), or square brackets (\[]). For more information about Spark naming conventions, see the official Spark documentation.

| | Dataset | The name of the selected dataset. | | Value | The SQL condition of your rule. | | Points | The number of points that Collibra DQ deducts from your data quality score when data breaches the conditions of your rule. | | % | If you do not customize this value on the Rule Details modal, Collibra DQ uses the default value of 1. | | Valid |

Shows whether your rule passes rule validation.

| | Type | The type of rule, for example, SQLF. | | Action | Click **Create Alert +** to [create a new alert](/data-quality-self-hosted/core-concepts/alerts/working-with-the-alert-builder/adding-dataset-alerts.md) for the rule.After you configure an alert for a rule, you can access it from the **Alerts** tab. | | {% endtab %} | | {% tab title="Adaptive Rules" %} {% hint style="success" %} To sort a column, click the Arrow up icon Arrow down icon icons next to the column header. {% endhint %} | Column | Description | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Field | The column with the breaking adaptive rule. | | Check |

The type of breaking adaptive rule check, including:

| | Condition | The automatically defined SQL condition of the breaking adaptive rule. | | Status |

Shows the adaptive rule as "Breaking."

Only "Breaking" adaptive rules are eligible for alerts.

| | |

Shows the data point of a given column relative to its baseline.

:glasses-round: Example: In the following chart, the red line represents the data point of the value for the current run. This is overlaid atop the baseline and expected range for that run. When a column has a value outside the expected range boundary, it triggers a "Breaking" status for that type of check. This range also appears on the Findings and Profile pages for the breaking column.
