ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Checks are tools that allow you to evaluate your data based on specific conditions. Some checks allow you to search for conditions, such as polygon slivers or cutbacks, while other checks allow you to search for features that have spatial relationships with each other. For example, you can find buildings that have been mistakenly placed on water features.

The following tables describe the Data Reviewer checks that support constraint and validation workflows:

Attribute checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Domain

Finds attribute values that do not comply with coded value or range domains that are associated with an attribute field

Validation

Query Attributes

Finds records based on a WHERE clause run against row attributes

Validation

Subtype

Finds features with improper or null subtype values

Validation

Table to Table Attribute

Finds features or rows that contain attribute values that meet a relationship you define to values in another feature class or stand-alone table

Validation

Event checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Event on Event

Finds linear referenced events that overlay other events based on a relationship you define

Validation

Invalid Events

Finds linear referenced events that do not have an associated route, contain invalid measure values, or have gaps or overlaps within the same route or across multiple routes

Validation

Feature integrity checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Cutbacks

Finds segments where the angle between segments in a polygon or polyline is below a specified minimum value

Constraint

Validation

Duplicate Vertex

Finds vertices from the same feature that are collocated or within a specified tolerance of one another

Constraint

Validation

Evaluate Part Count

Finds features with a part count that is within a specified value

Constraint

Validation

Evaluate Vertex Count

Finds polyline or polygon features that have a vertex count within a specified tolerance

Constraint

Validation

Invalid Geometry

Finds features that contain invalid geometry

Validation

Nonlinear Segment

Finds polyline or polygon features that contain nonlinear segments such as arcs and curves

Validation

Polygon checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Evaluate Polygon Perimeter and Area

Finds parts, segments, or entire polygons for features whose area or perimeter is within a specified range

Constraint

Validation

Unnecessary Polygon Boundaries

Finds polygon features that share a common boundary and contain identical attribute values

Validation

Polyline checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Evaluate Polyline Length

Finds polyline segments, parts, or features that have a line length within a specified tolerance

Constraint

Validation

Monotonicity

Searches z-enabled or m-enabled polylines for vertices that are not strictly increasing or decreasing in value or are trending based on specified conditions

Constraint

Validation

Polyline or Path Closes on Self

Finds paths or lines in polyline features that close themselves

Constraint

Validation

Unnecessary Nodes

Finds polyline features that share a node and have matching attribute values

Validation

Spatial relationship checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Duplicate Feature

Finds features of the same geometry type that are collocated and share attributes

Validation

Feature on Feature

Finds features that have a specific relationship, either from two feature layers or within the same feature layer

Constraint

Validation
