Available with Data Reviewer license.
ArcGIS Data Reviewer 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. Once a check is configured with specific conditions it can be used as a rule designed to meet your organization's needs.

Run Data Checks workflow
The Run Data Checks tool determines a feature's quality with minimum configuration. This form of automated review is helpful when an initial assessment of data quality is required.
Consider the following when implementing automated review using the Run Data Checks tool:
- Rules are created using tools in ArcGIS Pro.
- Rules don't need to be saved before running the tool.
- A read-only permission on source data is required for creating rules.
- Validation of features is supported using ArcGIS Pro (Run Data Checks command).
- Only features from file and mobile geodatabases are supported.
- Errors are stored in a temporary geodatabase created during an ArcGIS Pro session. The geodatabase gets deleted once ArcGIS Pro is closed.
- Global IDs and editor tracking are not required.
- Error management is not available after error results are detected. Instead, attribute validation rules provide the capability to track corrections and verify errors.
Attribute rule workflows
Implementing repeatable assessment of a feature's quality is supported by checks in Attribute rule-based workflows. These include the ability to prevent the creation of poor-quality features during editing (constraint attribute rules), as well as the ability to identify poor-quality features that already exist in your database (validation attribute rules). This form of automated review is helpful when assessing multiple aspects of a feature's quality to ensure consistency across multiple data management workflows.
Consider the following when implementing automated review using Reviewer geodatabase rules:
- Rules are created using tools in ArcGIS Pro.
- Rules must be saved before running the tool.
- Geodatabase rules enable assessment of a feature's quality during (constraint attribute rule) and after editing (validation attribute rule).
- Features and rows are stored in geodatabase feature classes and stand-alone tables are supported.
- Attribute rule-based workflows support the validation of feature service data shared through ArcGIS Enterprise.
- Errors are stored in system-maintained tables along with production data.
- Global IDs and editor tracking are required.
- Error phase and status information are managed automatically for errors created using validation attribute rules.
