Delete Reviewer Session (Data Reviewer)

Summary

Permanently deletes one or more sessions and all related records from a Reviewer workspace.

A Reviewer session is used to store and manage the results of a data analysis throughout the life cycle of an anomaly. It allows you to organize the results from running batch jobs and visual inspections.

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.
