Read a Data Quality Profile
After you run a profiling plan or create a one-time profile), a file with a .profile extension appears in the File Explorer (it is immediately opened in the latter case).
Double-clicking such a file opens the Profile Viewer.
The Profile Viewer
The Profile Viewer contains several tabs and windows, which are described in the following sections. The data can be exported to XML or HTML format by using the blue floppy disk icon a green arrow on it in the upper-right part of the Viewer.
Inputs and roll ups
The Profiling Step might take any number of inputs, which are shown in this panel (if there is more than one input). Additionally, each input can have any number of roll ups assigned to it - ways of grouping the data by specific parameters. For example, roll ups could be used to view data profiles by gender, department, or country.
