Today’s Quick Tip for Managing Your Data Warehouse: Give Every Table a Description

We’ve collected questions that have come across the Asterisk Intelligence desk and have put together a series of tips for your organization to manage your Asterisk Intelligence Data Warehouse.  Ongoing attention to data quality and established procedures can help avoid a messy or frustrating database down the road.

Today’s tip: give it a description!  Every table needs a description.  Train down the habit of reviewing and maintaining any table’s description after every query build or upload.  Make sure staff who build queries are aware that they can input a table description for each step of their query within the ‘Choose Output’ settings of any query definition.
