# Data Quality Recommended Status — Full Reference Guide

The **Data Quality Recommended Status** is a core field used by Delpha to track the lifecycle of data-quality assessments for each monitored field in a record.

Every monitored field (Email, Website, Phone, etc.) automatically receives its own status field following the format:

```
delpha__DDQ_Quality<MonitoredField>RecommendedStatus__c
```

Example:

* `delpha__DDQ_QualityEmailRecommendedStatus__c`
* `delpha__DDQ_QualityWebsiteRecommendedStatus__c`

This picklist indicates where a field stands in the assessment workflow and drives automation in the **Score Meter**, **Continuous Assessment**, and the **Data Quality Steward View**.

***

## **Status Values & Their Meaning**

* **Null:** The targeted field has **never been assessed**.

{% hint style="info" %}
When **Assessment** is toggled ON (Delpha App → Data Quality → Account/Contact/Lead), these records are processed automatically.
{% endhint %}

* **To be Assessed:** The targeted field **was assessed before**, but a data change now requires a new assessment.

{% hint style="info" %}
When **Continuous Assessment** is ON, these records are automatically reprocessed.
{% endhint %}

* **Do Not Assess:** The targeted field is **explicitly excluded** from data-quality assessment.
* **Sent:** The Data Quality analysis **has started** for the targeted field.
* **Not Found:** The field was analyzed, but **Delpha did not find any valid recommendation**.
* **Potential:** A **potential recommendation** is available with its confidence score.\
  It can be applied from the **Score Meter**, or the **Data Quality Steward View**.
* **Bot Yes:** The end user **accepted** Delpha’s recommendation.
* **Bot No:** The end user **rejected** the recommendation.
* **Bot Edit:** The end user **manually corrected or entered** a new value.
* **Steward Yes:** The Data Steward **accepted** the recommendation from the Data Steward View
* **Steward No:** The Data Steward **rejected** the recommendation.
* **Auto Yes:** The recommended value **matches** the current value → no update required.
* **Auto No:** The recommended value **does not match**, and the system resolved it automatically.
* **Failed:** An error occurred during the Data Quality assessment for the targeted field.
