Summary
The Unclosed Polygon check finds unclosed rings in polygon features.
Overview
The purpose of the Unclosed Polygon check is to identify polygon features that contain rings that are not closed. Features that contain unclosed rings impact the results of spatial analysis. You are most likely to encounter them when importing features from nongeodatabase sources, such as shapefiles.
Supported workflows
ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks support multiple methods for implementing automated review of data. The following table identifies the supported implementation methods for this check:
| Validation | Constraint | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Reviewer batch job | Reviewer map rule | Attribute (validation) rule | No |
Yes | No | Yes (ArcGIS Pro 2.9 or later) | |
Syntax
| Parameter | Required | Description | Workflow |
|---|---|---|---|
Subtype | No | The subtype to which the rule is applied. | Validation |
Attribute | No | A query that identifies the features to which the rule is applied. | Validation |
Name | Yes | A unique name for the rule. This information is used to support data quality requirement traceability, automated reporting, and corrective workflows. | Validation |
Description | No | A description you define of the error when a noncompliant feature is found. This information is used to provide guidance to facilitate corrective workflows. | Validation |
Severity | Yes | The severity of the error assigned when a noncompliant feature is found. This value indicates the importance of the error relative to other errors. Values range from 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest priority and 5 being the lowest. | Validation |
Tags | No | The tag property of the rule. This information is used in rule authoring and management workflows to support traceability and reporting of data quality requirements. | Validation |
Notes
Keep the following in mind when using the check:
- Polygon feature layers are supported.
- You can use the Repair Geometry tool to fix errors detected with this check.
- The Attribute filter parameter is limited to comparison (=, <>, >, <, >=, <=) and logical (AND/OR, IN/NOT IN, LIKE/NOT LIKE, IS NULL) operators.
