Review results
Review Data Standard check results across every dataset they apply to.
Once a Data Standard runs, whether on its schedule or from the CLI, its results are available in Soda Cloud. Because a standard applies to many datasets, you can read its results from two complementary angles: per dataset (is this dataset meeting the standards that apply to it?) and per standard (is this rule being met everywhere it's enforced?).
Check outcomes
Each check produced by a standard reports one of the following outcomes for its most recent run:
Passed – the data met the check's expectation.
Warned – the data crossed a threshold configured to raise a warning rather than a failure (using
level: warn).Failed – the data violated the check.
Error – the check could not be evaluated due to a configuration, connectivity, or runtime issue.
Soda tracks each check's results under its standard, so the same check is correlated consistently every time the standard runs and across every dataset it touches. This is what lets you trust a check's history even as a standard fans out across your data.
Per-dataset view
From a dataset's page in Soda Cloud, you can see the checks contributed by every standard that applies to that dataset, alongside any contract checks. This answers: does this dataset comply with all the rules that target it?

A Linked standards panel lists every standard applied to the dataset and how many checks each one contributes, so you can see at a glance which rules are in force.
Selecting a check opens its detailed view, with the same tabs used for contract checks:
Historical plot – how the check has behaved across runs over time, helping you spot recurring issues and confirm fixes.
Result – a summary of the most recent run: status, measured value, time of execution, and any linked incident.
Diagnostics – execution metadata explaining how the result was computed (rows tested, failed rows count, and so on).
Failed rows – when failed row storage is configured, the specific records that violated the rule.
These tabs work the same way as for contract checks. See for a detailed walkthrough.
Per-standard view
From a standard, you can see how it is performing across every dataset it is linked to: the number of matched datasets, the overall passing rate, and a Matched datasets list with each dataset's check results and compliance. This answers: is this rule being met across the fleet?, and helps you quickly identify which datasets are out of compliance with an organization-wide policy.

Store failed rows and results in the Diagnostics Warehouse
Failed rows and check results from Data Standard verifications can also be stored in your Diagnostics Warehouse, a location in your own data source that Soda writes diagnostic data to. This keeps the underlying records and results in your environment, where you can query them directly, join them with other data, and investigate failures at scale without the data leaving your infrastructure.

Notifications and incidents
Because Data Standard results flow into the same results model as the rest of Soda Cloud, you can route failures through notifications and turn them into incidents for triage and follow-up, using check attributes to control who gets alerted.

Closing the loop
Reviewing results is what turns a Data Standard from a written policy into an enforced one. The standard defines what "good data" means across your organization; these views show, for every dataset it touches, whether the data currently meets that bar, and give you the detail needed to investigate and resolve any violation.
