Available with ArcGIS Pro Standard and Data Reviewer licenses.
Summary
The Find Polygons with Holes check finds polygon features that have holes.
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 attribute rule | Constraint attribute rule | |
|---|---|---|
Yes (ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 or later) | No | |
Overview
The Find Polygons with Holes check finds holes in polygon features. The check stores the geometry of the hole as an error.
Industry scenarios
This check can be used in the following scenarios:
- In topographic mapping, the Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) specification requires that island polygon features do not have holes.
- In parcel management, buildings, condo units, or water bodies that have been cut into a parcel but later need to be restored to the full parcel extent can use this check.
- In data management, having a location record for polygons with holes (donuts) can help verify processed data results.
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 title or name for the rule. This information is used to support data quality requirement traceability, automated reporting, and corrective workflows. | Validation |
Description | No | Descriptive text of the Reviewer result created when noncompliant features are found. This information is used to provide guidance for corrective workflows. | Validation |
Severity | No | 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:
- Only input features with a validation status of 2 (No calculation required, validation required, no error), 3 (No calculation required, validation required, has error(s)), 6 (Calculation required, validation required, no error), or 7 (Calculation required, validation required, has error(s)) are considered during rule evaluation.
- The Attribute filter parameter is limited to comparison (=, <>, >, <, >=, and <=) and logical (AND/OR, IN/NOT IN, LIKE/NOT LIKE, and IS NULL) operators.
- The Attribute filter parameter does not support the following field types: Big Integer, Date Only, Time Only, and Timestamp Offset. If selected, the row header is marked in red and does not allow the rule to be saved.
