When KDQ checks run, the results can be pushed directly into the K platform — making data quality outcomes visible on each asset's Data Profile Page, alongside lineage, usage, and ownership context. This is one of K's most powerful integrations: it means data consumers and governance managers can see DQ health without ever leaving K.
What Gets Synced
When KDQ results are synchronised to K, the following information is surfaced on the relevant Data Profile Page in K:
|
Synced Data |
Where it appears in K |
|---|---|
|
Overall DQ score for the asset |
Data Profile Page → Data Quality tab |
|
Pass / Fail status per check |
Data Quality tab → Check detail view |
|
Check run history and trends |
Data Quality tab → Trend view |
|
DQ issues (failing checks) |
Issues tab on the Data Profile Page |
|
DQ summary across the estate |
Dashboards and Insights → Data Quality Dashboard |
Prerequisites
Before syncing results, make sure:
-
At least one KDQ Workspace has been created and checks have run successfully
-
You have KDQ Workspace Admin or KDQ Platform Admin access
-
Your K platform instance has been configured to accept KDQ result ingestion (contact your KADA administrator if you are unsure)
How to Configure the Sync
Step 1 — Navigate to Workspace Settings
Within your KDQ Workspace, go to Settings → K Integration.
Step 2 — Enable the sync
Toggle Sync results to K to On.
Step 3 — Map your assets
KDQ will attempt to automatically match checks to the corresponding data assets already catalogued in K, based on the source, schema, and table/column name. Review the mapping and resolve any unmatched checks manually.
|
Mapping Status |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
✅ Matched |
KDQ has found the corresponding asset in K — results will sync automatically |
|
⚠️ Unmatched |
No matching asset was found in K — check that the source is connected and assets are catalogued |
|
🔒 Excluded |
This check has been explicitly excluded from syncing |
Step 4 — Set the sync frequency
Choose how frequently results are pushed to K:
-
After each check run — Results sync in near real-time immediately after a check completes
-
Daily — Results are batched and synced once per day
-
Manual — Sync is triggered manually from the Workspace settings
Step 5 — Save and test
Click Save, then click Run Sync Now to confirm results appear correctly in K.
Viewing Synced Results in K
Once sync is active, navigate to any catalogued data asset in K that has associated DQ checks. Open the Data Quality tab on the Data Profile Page to see:
-
The current DQ score and status
-
A breakdown of individual checks (name, status, last run time)
-
A trend chart showing how DQ has changed over time
-
Links back to the originating KDQ Workspace for full detail
Failing checks will also appear as Issues on the asset, making them visible to data consumers and governance managers.
DQ Results in the Governance Dashboard
Across the K platform, aggregated KDQ results feed into the Data Quality Dashboard within Dashboards and Insights. This allows governance managers and data managers to:
-
View DQ health across the entire data estate
-
Drill down by domain, collection, source, or DQ tool
-
Identify assets with consistently failing checks
-
Prioritise remediation efforts based on usage and criticality
Troubleshooting
|
Issue |
Likely cause |
Resolution |
|---|---|---|
|
Results not appearing in K after sync |
Asset not yet catalogued in K |
Ensure the source is connected and a metadata load has run |
|
Check shows as unmatched |
Name mismatch between KDQ and K |
Manually map the check to the correct asset in the mapping screen |
|
DQ tab missing on a Data Profile Page |
Sync not yet configured for this Workspace |
Enable the K Integration in Workspace Settings |
|
Results appear delayed |
Sync set to Daily frequency |
Change sync frequency to "After each check run" for near real-time updates |
💡 Tip: To ensure the K platform has the data assets catalogued before syncing, confirm your source integration has run successfully first. See KDQ Connections for details on connecting to data sources.
