Hi Visu,
you need to calculate the score for your rules by creating a Rule Task (Calculate Score). The scores for your Tables, Columns or Rules can then be viewd in the Workspace Tab under the Rule Result panel.
These Rule Results are organized for technical focus: I am responsible for a tabel in my databasea nd want to know how good the data within the table is, or within a column...
The DQ Scorecard is a different concept where you can create a nice drill down scorecard based on a Key Data Domain that you can define. This is for example if you are a Data Steward within your company responsible for the Product Data and you want to get a quick entry point / visualization how good the product data within your company is. (This person might not be aware in how many differnt tables of a database relevant product related data is stored and needs to be assessed, he just wnats to see results for his Key Data domian / Data Entity / Business Object PRODUCT). So the DQ Scorecard is a separate cetup, where you define which Key Data Domain, which Data Quality Dimensions (that you have already assigned to your rules), which Rules (that you already have bound to your tables) and which Rule Bindings you want to pick form your basic score calcualition to be conolidated and propagated to the higher level score of your Key Data Domain. That's what you do, when you go to Scorecard Setup. If there is a Exclamation Mark on any level of the Scorecard Setup, it means that you have not added next level of detial in that chain.
Easy explanaition for why havign separate setup: You might want to defien a central ruel in your company to define valid salutations for persons (Mr. , Ms., unknown), bind them to the physical tables EMPLOYEE, SUPPLIER_CONTACT, CUSTOMER_CONTACT for getting the DQ SCore when setting up the Rule Tasks on the EMPLOYEE, CUSOTMER and SUPPLIER table.
--> gives you three individual scores, based on one single rule definition.
But you also want to get a DQ Scorecard for drill down based on the different data objects. So your Scorecard setup has three Key Data Domains: Employee, Supplier, Customer. You add Data Quailty Dimenson to the scorecard set up for each Key Data Domain (chooes the ones you have attched to your single validation rule for the salutation check) then for every Key Data Domain and its Quality Dimension you add at least the Salution Rule (or I expect you have much more rules like validating other fields) and for each and every Key Data Domain / Data Quality Dimension / Rule defined you add the according Rule Binding: To the EMPLOYEE table for the Key Data Domain Employee, etc...
All concepts are described in the Product tutorials and in the documentation.
