# Data Quality Rules

Data quality rules are essential for maintaining trustworthy data. The predefined standards evaluate various aspects of data quality, guaranteeing data reliability for crucial tasks like decision-making and analysis.

Each rule works with a specific function to check data quality. These functions, like accuracy or completeness checks, analyze data against defined criteria.

OvalEdge offers pre-built data quality functions for various criteria, allowing users to create rules easily. Additionally, users can tailor rules to their specific needs by creating custom functions through the "Load Metadata From Files" template.

This approach allows users to ensure their data meets the quality standards required for their business operations.
