Add batch jobs to a project

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Legacy:

ArcMap-based Reviewer workflows will soon be deprecated. It is recommended that current users begin converting their workflows from Reviewer batch jobs to Data Reviewer attribute rules.

Batch jobs are sets of configured data checks that are used to ensure that your data meets specific business rules or a product specification. They are created using tools in ArcMap and allow you to find conditions that range from invalid geometries to features with spatial relationships and metadata element issues.

In ArcGIS Pro, you can add multiple batch jobs to a project. This allows you to include batch jobs that validate data in your project. Once the batch jobs are included in the project, you can interactively run them on the full database or active map extent.

Add batch jobs from the file system

Batch jobs can be added to the project from a file system location on a local machine or a shared location on your organization's network. This method allows you to add multiple batch jobs to the project at once. For example, if there is a shared location that stores all the batch jobs for your data, you can add them to the project all at once.

1. Open a project in ArcGIS Pro.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Project group, click the Connections drop-down arrow and click Data Reviewer > Add Reviewer Batch Jobs.
3. Browse to the directory that contains the batch jobs and choose one or more to add to the project.

   You can select multiple batch jobs by pressing the Ctrl or Shift key and clicking the batch job files.

4. Click OK.

   The Reviewer Batch Jobs folder appears in the Catalog pane and contains the batch jobs.

   Tip:

   You can review information about the contents of a batch job by right-clicking the batch job item and clicking View Metadata. The Item Description information is useful in determining the number and type of checks configured in the batch job.

Add batch jobs from a folder connection

You can add individual batch jobs to your project from folder connections. Batch jobs stored in a project's folder connection can be added to the project and used to validate data referenced by the project.

1. Open a project in ArcGIS Pro.
2. Add a connection to a folder that contains batch jobs.
3. Expand the folder that contains batch jobs.
4. Right-click a batch job and click Add To Project.

   The batch job is added to the Reviewer Batch Jobs folder in the Catalog pane. If this folder does not already exist, it is created.

   Tip:

   You can review information about the contents of a batch job by right-clicking the batch job item and clicking View Metadata. The Item Description information is useful in determining the number and type of checks configured in the batch job.

5. Repeat the steps as needed to add batch jobs to the project.
