Viewing Data Completeness Reports

You can rerun the same Data Completeness report for different period ranges. The period ranges must fall within the report's start and end date, or the system date if no end date exists.

For each period interval in the past, the report provides completeness data as of the last day in the month or quarter. For the current month or quarter, the report data is as of the previous business day.

Summary Report

For each period interval, the report displays in both the graphical and tabular view the completeness percentage of all records, based on the attributes that are reported on. This percentage is the average of completeness percentages for each individual record.

For example, the report is configured with 20 attributes for organizations. You have three organization records, and their completeness information is shown in this table.

Organization Attributes with Value Completeness Percentage of Record
A 10 50
B 20 100
C 17 85

The completeness percentage for one organization record is based on how many attributes values the record has out of the 20 attributes configured for the report. The overall completeness percentage for all organizations, 78.33%, is the average of the three record percentages.

From the summary page, you can also:

Detail Report

For the selected period interval, the Data Completeness report details show:

For example, there are 1000 total person records, and the report includes the Last Name attribute. If 900 records out of the 1000 have a last name, then the attribute's completeness percentage is 90.

By showing completeness at the attribute level, you can set goals for data completeness, for example, to have 100% completeness for last name, at least 90% for first name, and 50% for middle name.
