  Key Concepts: 
  Conformity is a term used in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) to describe the degree to which data meets certain criteria. It is measured on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the highest level of conformity. Conformity is determined by comparing the data against a set of rules or conditions that have been established by the user. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Information Steward, users can create rules and conditions to measure conformity. These rules and conditions can be based on a variety of criteria, such as data type, length, format, and value range. Once these rules and conditions have been established, the user can then run a conformity check to measure the degree to which the data meets these criteria. The results of this check will be displayed in a conformity score, which ranges from 0-100. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating rules and conditions for measuring conformity, it is important to ensure that they are as specific as possible. This will help ensure that the results of the conformity check are accurate and reliable. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the rules and conditions in order to keep them up-to-date with any changes in the data or environment.
