# Contacts The Contacts page helps users manage people and teams associated with a Data Quality Scheme. It enables stewards and administrators to maintain stakeholder information so that the correct users are informed, involved, and accountable for scheme activities. Users can manage internal OvalEdge users and external contacts, maintain communication details, configure notification preferences, and remove contacts when no longer required. This page helps ensure the right stakeholders receive scheme-related alerts, execution notifications, failure updates, and operational communications.

### Contacts List View The Contacts List View displays all users and contacts associated with the selected Data Quality Scheme.

**Search, Filter, and Sort** Users can quickly locate contacts using search and filtering options. Search helps users find contacts by name, email address, or contact details. Filters can be applied for User Type and notification preferences. Sorting can be used for names, email addresses, and other visible fields. These capabilities help users quickly review notification recipients, internal users, or external stakeholders. ### Add Contact Selecting the **+ Add Contact** option opens the Add Contact pop-up.

Add Contact allows users to associate internal OvalEdge users and external company contacts with the Data Quality Scheme, so they can receive notifications for selected events, such as scheme execution success or failure. **Add Contact Options** **OvalEdge User** * Use this option to add internal users available in the OvalEdge user directory. **Existing External User** * Use this option to select an already available external contact maintained in the system. This helps quickly reuse known vendor, partner, or business contacts without re-entering their information. **New External User** Use this option to create a new external contact. Users can enter contact details such as: * First Name * Last Name * Email ID * Address * Phone Number * Notification preferences This option is useful when involving third-party vendors, support teams, or business partners. **Fields include:** * Select Users – Search and select one or more internal users. * Notify On Success – Sends success notifications when enabled. * Notify On Failure – Sends failure notifications when enabled. This option is commonly used for stewards, administrators, analysts, and operational teams. **Notification Preferences** Contacts can receive alerts based on configured options. **Notify On Success** When enabled, the contact receives notifications after successful scheme execution. **Notify On Failure** When enabled, the contact receives alerts when scheme execution or rule validations fail. These settings help ensure relevant stakeholders receive only the notifications required for their role. ### Export Users can export the current Contacts view using applied filters and visible records. This helps teams maintain communication lists, review stakeholders, and support governance reporting. *** Copyright © 2026, OvalEdge LLC, Peachtree Corners, GA, USA. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
