Introduction
We’ve enhanced our data curation tools with the ability to sort datasets by date last updated to identify stale datasets and to trigger in app notifications when datasets haven’t been updated in an expected number of days
This is new functionality we’re keen to see how its used and what you would like to see added or changed, please reach out with comments
Setting the threshold and trigger notifications is intended for use with real time datasets
Any change in dataset including meta data will be treated as an update
Sort by Date last updated
...
In the datasets panel “Updated” is a column at the right, this can be clicked on to sort all datasets by newest or oldest update.
Notification if data not updated
For real time datasets that are expected to update with a regular frequency a threshold can be added which will trigger a notification if data hasn’t been updated in that expected timeframe.
The notification will show for everyone in the organisation
To clear a notification the dataset must be updated, this could include a change of meta data
To remove a dataset from generating notifications in this way update the Frequency to 0
Step 1
...
To set an update frequency to trigger notification a button is available in Next steps, “Update frequency”. Clicking this button will bring up a modal to enter a number. The number represents the days between updates.
...
Only numbers should be entered and it must be greater than 0.
Step 2
...
When the update frequency is set the button will disappear but the data is captured in the card under “Set Update Threshold” and can be edited.
If you want to stop a dataset generating notifications, change its “Set Update Threshold” to 0
Step 3
...
When a threshold is set for any dataset if any threshold is exceeded the notification icon will shake and turn orange
Step 4
...
Clicking on notifications we have a new table that will list datasets where the threshold has been exceeded. Update the dataset to reset the notification.
FAQs:
I do not see the Update frequency button: The button will only show if you are on a real time dataset.
...
I think this would be more useful if we could… Please let us know we’re eager to discuss improvements to make your data journey easier.
