What is the purpose of Confirmation Rules?

• A. To protect the data from being changed after validation
• B. To trigger financial calculations
• C. To act as visual checklists of Cube data validations
• D. To enforce data retention policies

Answer: (C)

Confirmation Rules provide a way to surface and document the validations that have been performed on cube data, acting like a visual checklist that users review and confirm before moving forward. This ensures that the data has passed predefined checks and is considered usable or ready for the next step. They aren’t the mechanism for triggering calculations, enforcing data retention policies, or preventing changes to data after validation; those are handled by separate features and controls. The emphasis here is on visibility and acknowledgment of data quality checks, making Confirmation Rules the best fit as a verification checklist for cube data validations.
