Writes a feature class, feature layer, table, or table view to the Reviewer workspace.

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.

Usage

  • Use this tool to write any feature class, feature layer, table, or table view to the Reviewer workspace.

    Caution:

    This tool does not support features or Reviewer workspaces that contain 64-bit object IDs.

  • The tool writes geometries from feature classes and layers to the applicable Reviewer REVTABLEPOINT, REVTABLELINE, or REVTABLEPOLY feature class.

  • The Reviewer Results pane must be closed and reopened after running this tool to view the new records.

  • To enable feature navigation and selection capabilities of the Reviewer Results pane, the ID Field and Origin Table Name parameters must be configured as follows:

    • The ID Field parameter must be populated using the unique identifier field (typically the ObjectID field).
    • The Origin Table Name parameter must be populated using the feature or object class name.

Parameters

Field
Origin Table Name (Value or Field)

The string or field value that will be used to populate the Source result in the Reviewer Results pane for each record that is written. This is typically the name of the feature class or table. The parameter value can be derived from a specified value or a field from the input.

String; Field
Review Status

A status string that will be associated with the group of records written to the Reviewer workspace. The default is Write GP Results to Reviewer Table. The parameter value can be derived from a specified value or a field from the input.

String; Field

Code sample

WriteToReviewerTable example (stand-alone script)

Before running the example script, use the CreateReviewerSession function to create a Reviewer session.

# Name: WriteToReviewerTable_Example.py
# Description: Imports features into the Reviewer workspace
# Requirements: ArcGIS Data Reviewer extension

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
from arcpy import env

# Check out a Data Reviewer extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("datareviewer")

# set the environment
env.workspace = "c:/arcgis/ArcTutor/Data Reviewer"

# Path to feature class and Reviewer workspace
Hospitals = "California.gdb/Landmarks/Hospitals"
reviewer_gdb = "Reviewer.gdb"

# Use the Create Reviewer Session tool to create a session before running this script.
Session = "Session 1 : Session 1"

# Execute the Write to Reviewer Table function with all required parameters
# Original Table name determined by the String value
arcpy.WriteToReviewerTable_Reviewer(reviewer_gdb, Session, Hospitals, "OBJECTID", "My table name", "My review status")

# Execute the Write to Reviewer Table function with all required parameters
# Original Table name determined by the value in the field specified
arcpy.WriteToReviewerTable_Reviewer(reviewer_gdb, Session, Hospitals, "OBJECTID", "NAME", "My review status")

# Execute the Write to Reviewer Table function with all required parameters and all optional parameters
# Original Table name/Subtype/Notes/Severity/Check Title determined by the String value
arcpy.WriteToReviewerTable_Reviewer(reviewer_gdb, Session, Hospitals, "OBJECTID", "My table name", "My review status", "My Subtype", "New Hospitals", "3", "My Check results")

# Execute the Write to Reviewer Table function with all required parameters and optional parameters
# Original Table name/Subtype/Notes/Check Title determined by the value in the field specified
arcpy.WriteToReviewerTable_Reviewer(reviewer_gdb, Session, Hospitals, "OBJECTID", "NAME", "CITY", "TYPE_CODE", "ADMIN_DESC", "3", "TYPE_DESC")

# Check in the Data Reviewer extension
arcpy.CheckInExtension("datareviewer")
