Navigating Validatar

The Toolbar

The main toolbar bar contains four main areas of Validatar: Explorer, Projects, Reports, and Settings.

1. Explorer - Brings you to a list of data sources that you have browse permissions for and changes the navigation tree to the explorer tree. If Validatar has ingested the data source's metadata, the latest ingestion date as well as statistical information about the data source will be shown.
2. Projects - Brings you to a list of every project that you have access to inside of Validatar and changes the navigation tree to the project tree. Browse the repository of existing tests, jobs, and results and create new test cases under Projects.
3. Reports - View standard reports like test and job history or create new custom reports by connecting Validatar to a business analytics tool like Tableau. Clicking Reports changes the navigation tree to the reports tree.
4. Settings - Global administrators can configure their Validatar server to support the needs of their organization. Add new data source connections, database engines, and custom profiles for enhanced monitoring and data quality testing. Clicking Settings changes the navigation tree to the settings tree.
