Available Conditions
A condition is the combination of a field, an operator, and a value. Validation Monitors offer a rich library of operators and templated values, to make setting up data quality checks easy. Multiple conditions can be combined using AND and OR logic to make more sophisticated checks.
The following operators and templated values are supported. The metric names for Monitors as Code (MaC) config are listed in the MaC Name column for each condition.
To use templated values, a user must select the is or is not operators. Other operators require a user-defined value.

Defining a Set
The is in set and is not in set operators allow users to define a set using the following methods:
- From a list: manually enter the values
- From a field: select a table and field, and the set with be populated with the distinct values in that field. The selected field will be referenced each time the monitor is run, so the set values may change.
- From a query: write SQL to define the values in the set. The query will run each time the monitor is run, so the set values may change.
Users can define a set from a manually entered list, from a field, or from a query
