What is the function of the Spotlight Job?

The function of the Spotlight Job is to apply criteria and generate spotlights for records that exceed specified thresholds. This capability is essential in analytics because it helps users identify key records that meet particular conditions, enabling proactive monitoring and management of data records. By focusing on those records that are critical or noteworthy, users can make informed decisions and take necessary actions regarding workflow or system performance.

This functionality enhances data analysis by allowing teams to concentrate on outliers or important trends that might need attention, rather than sifting through every individual record. The Spotlight Job effectively aggregate and showcases significant data points that have crossed preset limits, which are vital for timely interventions in business processes or analytics.

The roles of creating new processes, generating alerts for system failures, and optimizing database performance, while important in a broader context, do not accurately describe the specific purpose of the Spotlight Job as it pertains to recognizing and spotlighting records under defined conditions.
