# Data Governance

YouDesign Command follows a holistic approach to data quality to ensure that crucial data is always current and complete for informed decision-making in the enterprise. The two essential concepts are explained below:

**Completeness** means the field content must not be empty, null, or zero. YouDesign Command workflows notify steward group members (as specified in the Data Definition Scope) regularly to complete missing data.

**Currentness** means the field content must be reviewed regularly (for example, every 90 days) to ensure the entered value remains current and accurate. You can define the review cycle in the Data Definition Scope.

Data Definition Scopes are based on repository filters and tracked fields for a specific table. An example of a data definition scope could be "Critical Business Applications that are not obsolete".

YouDesign Command administrators configure Data Definition Scopes as explained in [Data Governance Portal](doc:data-governance-portal). Responsible persons see the YouDesign Command data quality widget on elements where data quality is tracked by at least one scope.

Below is how the widget is used to keep data current and correct:

**A** – Field tracked by Data Governance

**B** – Current value of the field or "(Empty)"

**C** – Completeness Indicator – either "Complete" or "Missing". Update the field and save the record to refresh this indicator.

**D** – Currentness Indicator – either "Current", "Overdue", or "Missing"/"No Value"

**E** – "Next verification in" indicates when the next review is due according to the review cycle, or how many days/months/years the review is overdue

**F** – Verification button to instantly verify the field content

**G** – "Verify All" – instantly verifies all fields that require verification

**H** – Example of countdown to next due verification
