• Key Concepts: 
  Quality dimension is a term used in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) to refer to the different aspects of data quality that can be measured. Quality dimensions are used to define the criteria for assessing the quality of data, such as accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness.
  
  How to use it: 
  Quality dimensions are used to define the criteria for assessing the quality of data. This can be done by setting up rules and thresholds for each quality dimension. For example, a rule could be set up to check for accuracy of data by comparing it against a reference dataset. Thresholds can also be set up to determine when a data point is considered “good” or “bad”.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up rules and thresholds for quality dimensions, it is important to consider the context of the data. For example, if the data is being used for financial reporting, accuracy may be more important than completeness. It is also important to consider how often the rules and thresholds should be updated in order to ensure that they remain relevant.
