# Data Quality Recommended Status — Full Reference Guide

Delpha’s Data Quality Recommended Status shows the current state of each monitored field’s assessment, recommendation, and user or steward action. Critical for data quality automation and reporting.

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.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.delpha.io/delpha-for-salesforce/how-to-faq/delpha-data-quality/data-quality-recommended-status-full-reference-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
