# Run an assessment for specific or recently changed records

Assessing every record on each run can be slow on large tables. Use filters to process only selected records or only records that changed recently, for example after a data import or a cleanup project.

## Prerequisites

- **Data Quality Check** is enabled on the **Data Quality Setup** page.
- One or more **Data Policies** are **Active**, with validation rules or duplicate checks configured.
- Records exist for the selected table.

## Steps

1. Press **Alt+Q** to open the **Tell Me** search.
2. Enter **Data Quality Assessment** and select the page from the results.
3. In the **Run** field, select **Specific Policy** or **All Active Policies**.
4. Select the **Policy ID** or the entity you want to assess.
5. In the **Check Type** field, select **Validation**, **Duplicate check**, or **Both**.
6. Define one or more filters to narrow the records processed:
  - **Created After Date** – process only records created after the date you enter.
  - **From Date** and **Till Date** – process only records within the date range you enter.
7. Select **Run Assessment**.

### Results

Business Central processes only the records that match your filter criteria and stores the results under a new **Assessment Run ID**. For example, when you set a **Created After Date** of 01-06-2026 for **Customer** records, the assessment ignores all records created on or before that date.
