Elevate Data Quality validates and monitors data in your student information system. When data errors are identified, you receive an Email Notification showing the data errors – called “violations” – that were found. The email shows each “rule” that found violations. Data is refreshed each day. If no violations were found, you do not receive an email. To interactively review the data violations in your scorecard, log in to Elevate Data Quality.
