The Analysis Types

Learn how Analysis Types assess field completeness, uniqueness, validity, patterns, dates, defaults, and value distributions to identify data quality issues and improvement opportunities.

Analysis Types

Starting from version 1.6.0, Plauti Context has been renamed to Plauti Monitor. The Analysis Types are the different analyses you can run on your Salesforce Objects.

Active Picklist Value Distribution

Active Picklist Value Distribution shows how often each active value on a picklist field is used across records.

Character Length Analysis

Analyze text field lengths, identify statistical outliers, interpret job results, configure thresholds, and apply recommended actions to improve data consistency and prepare fields for automation.

Character Length Distribution

Character Length Distribution groups text field values into length-based segments, and compares average length against the field maximum.

Checkbox Distribution

Checkbox Distribution shows the true/false ratio for each checkbox field, helping you spot values that are rarely toggled, or skewed in an unexpected direction.

Date Range Analysis

Categorize date values as too old, within range, or too new, based on a configurable date window. The Date Range Analysis scans selected date and date-time fields, and classifies each value as too

Default Value Usage

Measure how frequently a field's predefined default value remains unchanged across records. The Default Value Usage analysis type analyzes fields that have a configured default value, such as a

Duplicate Value Rate

Duplicate Value Rate measures the percentage of duplicate values in text and lookup fields. Duplicate Value Rate measures which percentage of records share their value with at least one other record,

Email Domain Analysis

Email Domain extracts and ranks the most frequently occurring email domains in selected email fields.

Email Regex Validation

Check email field values against a standard format pattern to identify invalid, malformed, or empty email addresses.

Fill Rate

The Fill Rate measures data completeness. It calculates the percentage of records that have a non-empty value for a certain field.

Format Pattern Detection

Format Pattern Detection identifies structural patterns in text values, and shows how much of each field's data is covered by the top 5 detected patterns.

Future Date Analysis

Identify records with date values set in the future, to detect potentially incorrect dates. The Future Scans analysis scans date and date-time fields for values that fall after today.

Inactive Picklist Usage

Inactive Picklist Usage identifies records that still contain values which have been deactivated in a picklist field's settings.

Many-to-One Distribution

Many-to-One Distribution shows how child records are distributed across parent records in a lookup relationship, helping you spot concentration patterns and parent records with an unusually high

Multi-Select Average Count

Multi-Select Average Count calculates the average number of values selected per record in a multi-select picklist field.

Negative Value Analysis

Negative Value Analysis identifies numeric fields that contain values less than zero. The Negative Value Analysis scans numeric fields such as Number, Currency and Percent fields, and calculates for

Number Analysis

Number Analysis calculates key statistics such as minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation for numeric fields, and flags values that fall far outside the normal range.

Orphaned Record Detection

Orphaned Record Detection identifies records where a lookup field is empty, flagging potential broken relationships or missing parent references.

Past Date Threshold

Identify date field values that fall beyond a configured cutoff date in the past. The Past Date Threshold analysis scans date and date-time fields, and flags any value that exceeds a configurable age

Standard Deviation

Standard Deviation Analysis calculates the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for numeric fields.

Time Component Analysis

Examine the time portion of date-time fields to detect what percentage of values are set to midnight (00:00:00).

Uniqueness Detection

Uniqueness Detection checks whether all values in a field are unique across all records. Uniqueness Detection checks whether all non-blank values in a field occur only once across all records.

Unused Active Picklist Values

The Unused Active Picklist Values analysis identifies active picklist values that never appear in any record, presenting you with safe candidates for cleanup.

Value Distribution

Value Distribution shows the frequency of distinct values in a field, revealing which values dominate and how spread out the data is.
