# Prerequisites

Before you begin configuring Data Quality Studio for D365 BC, make sure the following prerequisites are completed.

### **Extension Installation**

The Data Quality Studio for D365 BC extension must be installed in your D365 BC environment. To verify this, open the **Tell Me** search **(Alt+Q)** and search for **Data Quality Setup**. If the page is available, the extension is installed.

If the page is not available, contact your system administrator or **STAEDEAN** partner.

### **User Permissions**

The user performing the configuration must have the required permissions to configure Data Quality Studio. This includes permission to:

- Read and modify the **Data Quality Setup** page
- Creating and editing **Data Policies**, **Validation Patterns**, and **Duplicate Checks**
- Activating and deactivating policy versions.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** End users who only create or edit **Customer**, **Vendor**, or **Contact** records do not require Anywhere Mobility Solutions additional permissions. Data Quality Studio rules are evaluated automatically in the background.

### **Company Setup**

Confirm that the D365 BC company is set up and that the master data entities (**Customer**, **Vendor**, **Contact**) you intend to govern are present or will be populated.

### Job Queue

To schedule a **Data Quality Assessment** to run automatically at a defined frequency, the **Job Queue** must be configured and running in your D365 BC environment. On-demand assessments do not require the Job Queue.

### **Number Series**

Data Quality Studio uses number series to generate unique identifiers for validation conditions, duplicate check conditions, and duplicate check records. Before configuring Data Quality Studio, make sure the required number series are created in D365 BC and assigned on the **Data Quality Setup** page.

| **Field** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Validation Condition ID | Number series for condition identifiers on validation rules |
| Duplicate Condition ID | Number series for condition identifiers on duplicate check rules |
| Duplicate Check Nos | Number series for duplicate check record IDs |

If number series are not yet available in your environment, create them first in D365 BC and then assign them on the **Data Quality Setup** page.

### **Starter Configuration (Optional)**

A **Configuration Package** (RapidStart) is delivered with the Data Quality Studio extension and contains pre-built **Validation Patterns** (**regex patterns** and **range expressions**). Importing this package gives you a ready-made set of patterns to use as a starting point. You can then create additional patterns or modify existing ones to match your business requirements.

To import the **Configuration Package**, navigate to **Configuration Packages** in D365 BC, select the Data Quality Studio package, and apply it.
