Enable Reviewer error results on a geodatabase

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.

Errors detected during the quality control process can be stored in a geodatabase as Reviewer error results and used during corrective workflows and for error reporting.

Caution:

• Directly editing Reviewer error results may corrupt the relationships between the various tables and may affect performance. It is recommended that you manage results using the Reviewer Results and Update Results panes.
• For best performance, the spatial reference you select for your results should match the spatial reference of the data you are validating.
