The Pending state means a record has been submitted for stewardship review but is awaiting action from an assigned data steward.
A data steward needs to merge two suspect records in the Hub. Which MDM tool is specifically designed to facilitate this manual merge decision?
Answer: Data Director Merge Manager
The Merge Manager in Informatica Data Director allows stewards to review match candidates and manually approve or reject proposed merges.
When a workflow task is reassigned from one steward to another in Informatica MDM, what happens to the task's audit history?
Answer: It is preserved and updated with the reassignment event
MDM preserves the full audit trail including reassignment events, so the complete history of who held and acted on a task is maintained.
Which configuration in Informatica MDM determines the sequence of human and automated steps a record must pass through before being promoted to the Hub Store?
Answer: Workflow definition
The workflow definition specifies the ordered states, transitions, and participants (human or automated) a record traverses before final promotion.
In Informatica Data Director, a steward opens a task and sees fields highlighted in different colors representing data from multiple source systems. What feature generates this display?
Answer: Survivorship comparison panel
The survivorship comparison panel highlights contributed field values from each source system so stewards can see which system won for each attribute.
A steward rejects a record in the workflow. Which of the following actions typically occurs next by default in Informatica MDM?
Answer: The record reverts to a prior workflow state or is routed back to the originating system
Rejection routes the record back to a previous step or notifies the source system, allowing correction and resubmission rather than deletion.
Which Informatica MDM capability allows a business user to define stewardship assignment rules so that records from a specific country are always routed to the regional data steward team?
Answer: Role-based task routing
Role-based task routing uses configurable rules (such as country attribute values) to automatically assign workflow tasks to the appropriate steward role or queue.
