Data Quality Scheduling
Data Quality scoring can run on a weekday schedule — the same style as scenario auto-schedule, but on its own Data Quality tab. Use this when you want scores refreshed automatically without opening the Quality tab each day.
Requires the Data Quality license. Without it, the Quality settings section and the Auto Schedule Data Quality tab are hidden. See Data Quality Score for dashboards and checks.
Where to configure the schedule
From Auto Schedule
- Open Settings → Auto Schedule Scenarios.
- Select the Data Quality tab (after Leads, Accounts, Contacts, and any enabled custom objects).
- Edit the default run time (scheduler on/off and hour), then toggle weekdays on or off.
From Quality settings
- Open Settings → Data Quality (or Quality).
- Find the Scoring schedule card — it shows a summary such as weekdays and run time, or Off / not configured.
- Click Configure schedule to jump to Auto Schedule on the Data Quality tab.
What the schedule controls
- Scheduler enabled
- Master on/off for automatic Data Quality scoring. When off, weekday selections are kept but scoring does not run on a cron.
- Run time
- Org default hour for the Data Quality job (same 1:00 AM–12:00 AM style picker used for scenario schedules).
- Weekdays
- Each day can be On or Off. When the scheduler is enabled, scoring runs on days that are On at the configured hour.
Scheduled scoring evaluates records using your saved Quality profiles. It does not change which duplicate scenarios are active, and it does not merge records. After a run, open the Quality tab to review scores.
Full rescore interval and Force full scan
Full rescore interval lives on Settings → Auto Schedule → Data Quality. Force full scan remains on Settings → Quality. Together they control how aggressive each scoring pass is:
- Full rescore interval
- Org-wide. When a scheduled or manual run fires, force a full scan if the last full run was at least this many days ago (default 7 days, range 1–365). Keeps calendar-based Freshness and Uniqueness accurate even when records are not edited.
- Force full scan
- Manual override for the selected object. Saves the current profile, then scores every record immediately — even when rules are unchanged and the full-rescore interval has not elapsed. Use after large data loads or when freshness and uniqueness look stale.
Day-to-day Run scoring on the Quality tab stays incremental when rules are unchanged and a full run completed recently. See Data Quality Score for full vs changed-only behavior and Last Modified Date guidance.
Administrator notes
The schedule is stored in org Data Quality settings and registers a named
cron job (DC_DataQuality_Scoring). Scenario auto-schedule
continues to use its own cron — the two are independent.
For permission sets and org rollout, see Administration Guide.
