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 cutbacks on route features that impact measurement values in pipes or 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

Regular Expression

Finds features and rows that contain text values that do not match a defined pattern

Validation

Relationship

Finds rows in feature classes and stand-alone tables that violate cardinality or relationship rules defined in a relationship class

Validation

Subtype

Finds features in a subtype with improper or null attribute values

Validation

Table to Table Attribute

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

Validation

Unique Field Value

Finds rows in feature classes and stand-alone tables that contain nonunique values in an editable field or a list of fields

Validation

Event checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Event on Event

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

Validation

Feature integrity checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Check Geometry

Finds features whose geometry is empty, nothing, or not simple, as well as features with empty envelopes

Validation

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 range of values

Constraint

Validation

Evaluate Vertex Count

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

Constraint

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 polygon features based on the area or perimeter of the entire polygon or its individual parts or segments

Constraint

Validation

Polygon Gap is Sliver

Finds gaps between polygon features that are below a specified thinness ratio

Validation

Polygon Overlap is Sliver

Finds overlaps between polygon features that are below a specified thinness ratio

Validation

Polygon Sliver

Finds polygon features with a thinness ratio below a specified threshold

Validation

Unclosed Polygon

Finds unclosed rings in polygon features

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

Find Dangles

Finds polylines that have dangles within a specified tolerance

Validation

Find Disconnected Polylines

Finds polyline features that are not connected to other features in the same or other data sources

Validation

Monotonicity

Finds vertices in z-enabled or m-enabled polylines 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
Composite

Finds features or rows based on the result from multiple Reviewer checks

Validation

Duplicate Feature

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

Validation

Evaluate Intersection Count

Finds polyline features that spatially intersect other polyline or polygon features a specified number of times

Validation

Feature on Feature

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

Constraint

Validation

Z-value checks

Check nameDescriptionWorkflow
Adjacent Vertex Elevation Change

Finds features that contain an elevation (Z) change greater than a specified tolerance

Validation

Different Z at Intersection

Finds intersecting polyline features with z-value differences that are larger than a specified tolerance at intersection points

Validation

Evaluate Z Values

Finds features with z-values that fall within specified parameters

Validation
