• Key Concepts: 
  Uniqueness profiling is a process used in SAP Information Steward (EIM-IS) to identify and analyze data that is unique within a dataset. It helps to identify data that is not duplicated or repeated, and can be used to identify outliers or anomalies in the data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use uniqueness profiling, you must first select the dataset you want to analyze. Then, you can select the columns you want to profile for uniqueness. The system will then generate a report that shows the number of unique values in each column, as well as any outliers or anomalies that may exist. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using uniqueness profiling, it is important to remember that the results may be affected by the data type of the columns being profiled. For example, if you are profiling a column with numerical values, the results may be different than if you were profiling a column with text values.
