# Quality

{% hint style="info" %}
Users can navigate to Quality under Settings to view all of the out-of-the-box measures categorized under Reliability, Distribution, Frequency, and Statistics. 

They can select whether the measure is:

   ● Active or Inactive, 

   ● Valid or Invalid, 

   ● Include it in scoring

   ● Monitor 

Best practice to use the quality page:

   ● Document the requirement/business case for each asset or a business as a whole 

   ● Identify the Out of the measures from the below-mentioned section, and enable them before configuring an asset 

   ● Ensure to choose scoring/monitoring on a need-to-basis 

   ● Configure the assets after the settings to auto-enable the selected measures for any asset that is configured in the platform
