# Schema

The Schema monitor detects changes to columns and data types and down-scores any observations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Collibra DQ requires a minimum of 4 previous runs to establish a baseline calculation of a dataset's table properties before it can detect any schema changes.
{% endhint %}

<table><thead><tr><th width="152">Column</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Observation</td><td>The type of schema anomaly detected.</td></tr><tr><td>Action</td><td><p>Lets you label and train a finding. The available dropdown menu options are Validate, Invalidate, and Resolve.</p><p><strong>Validate</strong> instructs Collibra DQ to either assign a finding to a specific user for review, which then appears in the View the Assignment Queue or acknowledge without an assignee that the finding is a valid observation.</p><p><strong>Invalidate</strong> instructs Collibra DQ to ignore a finding and allow the value to pass. There are two invalidation options:</p><ul><li><strong>Save</strong> lets you mark a finding as invalidated.</li><li><strong>Save &#x26; Retrain</strong> lets you invalidate a finding and any previously saved invalidated findings, if any.</li></ul><div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="success" class="hint hint-success"><p>When you have many findings to invalidate, it may be best to use the Save option to invalidate them at the same time, once all findings are reviewed.</p></div><p><strong>Resolve</strong> Instructs Collibra DQ to mark the finding as an observation and prevents it from appearing in future runs. Resolving a finding does not immediately affect data quality scores.</p></td></tr><tr><td>Status</td><td>The status of your data quality item, for example, Observation.</td></tr><tr><td>Profile</td><td><p>The user account that is assigned to this schema finding. When the Status is Assigned, a user profile displays in this column.</p><div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>When a schema finding is unassigned, the profile column is empty.</p></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Retrain

Updates the DQ models used for automated data-quality checks. The Retrain process consumes current training data (and optionally labels/config), builds a new model or rule-set, validates it, and publishes a new version that will be used to score incoming data and compute DQ metrics. Use **Retrain** when data distributions change, new labels/ground truth are available, business rules change, or on a scheduled cadence to prevent model drift.
