Managing Workspace Settings

Workspace settings let you configure system-wide options for your Validio environment, such as workspace display, default user roles, and your installation’s application URL. Manage them under the Workspace > Settings tab.

​

Workspace settings

Customize the Workspace settings in your Validio environment.

​

Default user settings

The default user settings allow you to streamline the initial setup process for users. You can set a default namespace and assign a default role, ensuring that newly created users have access to the correct workspace when they first log in.

​

AI features

The AI Features setting lets you enable AI-powered features and integrations on your Validio installation.

• Allow LLM Credentials - Configure credentials for external Large Language Model (LLM) providers to compose and correct custom SQL queries in validators and filters. See LLM Credentials.
• Enable MCP Server - Integrate with the Validio MCP server. You will not be able to enable the MCP server if you do not set an Application URL for your Validio installation. Connected AI assistants inherit the permissions of the connecting user, and destructive operations are always refused. See Validio MCP Server.

​

Backfill settings

Configure how backfilled incidents are handled in your Validio environment.

• Auto-resolve backfilled incidents — When enabled, incidents generated during a backfill (such as a validator reset, rerun, or initial start with backfill) are automatically resolved. Since resolved incidents are excluded from the data quality score, this prevents historical reprocessing from negatively impacting your data quality metrics.

​

Catalog approval workflow

Select Require approval workflow for catalog changes to require a second person to approve every change to business glossary terms, domains, classifications, catalog assets, and lineage edges before it takes effect. Keep this setting off if you manage the catalog through infrastructure as code (IaC). The setting cannot be cleared while catalog changes are still unsubmitted or in review. See Catalog Approval Workflows.

​

Data quality thresholds

The Data quality thresholds setting controls how data quality scores are colored, such as on the glossary term data quality tab. Each score is judged against the thresholds of its dimension. For each data quality dimension (Completeness, Validity, Timeliness, Accuracy, Consistency, Uniqueness), set:

• Passing — The minimum score the dimension must reach to be considered passing. Scores at or above this value are reported as green.
• Warning — The minimum score the dimension must reach to be considered warning. Scores at or above this value but below the passing threshold are reported as yellow. Scores below the warning threshold are failing (red).

The No dimension row sets the same two thresholds for scores that aren’t tied to a dimension: lineage rollups, source overviews, and validators without a dimension. By default, these scores pass at 70% or above and fail below 20%. Both thresholds are percentages between 0 and 100. The passing threshold must be greater than the warning threshold. Defaults follow common DAMA-aligned tolerances and can be tuned per workspace. Threshold changes save immediately. They change how scores are colored, not the scores themselves.

​

Diagnostic settings

Under the diagnostic settings, you can opt-out of tracking by third-party integrations.

• Allow tracking of application usage - Application usage allows Validio to track information about how you use our product and where you may have issues.
• Allow collecting error logs - Error logs allow us to track when our product has issues in your environment.
