Summary
The Evaluate Polygon Perimeter and Area check finds polygon features based on the area or perimeter of the entire polygon or its individual parts or segments.
Supported workflows
ArcGIS Data Reviewer checks support multiple methods for implementing automated review of data. The following table identifies the supported implementation methods for this check:
| Workflow | Supported | Licensing |
|---|---|---|
Validation attribute rule | Yes (ArcGIS Pro 2.5 and ArcGIS Enterprise10.8 or later) | Available with ArcGIS Pro Standard and Data Reviewer license |
Constraint attribute rule | Yes (ArcGIS Pro 2.4 or later) | Available with ArcGIS Pro Standard and Data Reviewer license |
Run Data Checks | Yes (ArcGIS Pro 3.5 or later) | Available with Data Reviewer license |
Overview
The Evaluate Polygon Perimeter and Area check identifies features that meet either area or perimeter conditions that are invalid. This can include an evaluation of the feature's entire geometry or its constituent parts or segments.
When configured as a constraint rule, an error notification is returned when a feature based on the specified range defined in the rule is created or modified.
When configured as a validation rule, an error is created during validation for each feature that contains an area or perimeter measurement within the specified range.
Industry scenarios
This check can be used in the following scenarios:
- In facility mapping, certain types of structures, such as sheds, must have an area less than a specified size; otherwise, they must be coded with a different structure type.
- In topographic mapping, features must have segment lengths greater than a specified value to maintain consistency in products generated from multiple data sources.
Attribute Rule syntax
The following table describes the validation and constraint attribute rule parameters:
| Parameter | Required | Description | Workflow |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Subtype |
No | The subtype(s) to which the rule is applied. |
Constraint |
Validation | |||
|
Attribute |
No | A query that identifies the features to which the rule is applied. | Validation |
|
Evaluate |
Yes | The geometric property of the feature evaluated by the check.
|
Constraint |
Validation | |||
|
Type |
Yes | The method used when evaluating a feature's area or perimeter.
|
Constraint |
Validation | |||
|
Search Goal |
Yes | Error conditions evaluated by the rule. Any feature whose values match those defined in the rule are returned as an error.
More input is required if you choose an operator with upper and lower bounding values. |
Constraint |
Validation | |||
|
Triggers |
Yes | The editing events that trigger the rule to take effect.
|
Constraint |
|
Name |
Yes | A unique title or name for the rule. This information is used to support data quality requirement traceability, automated reporting, and corrective workflows. |
Constraint |
Validation | |||
|
Description |
No | A description of the error you define when a noncompliant feature is found. This information is used to provide guidance for corrective workflows. |
Constraint |
Validation | |||
|
Severity |
No | The severity of the error assigned when a noncompliant feature is found. This value indicates the importance of the error relative to other errors. Values range from 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest priority and 5 being the lowest. | Validation |
|
Tags |
No | The tag property of the rule. This information is used in rule authoring and management workflows to support traceability and reporting of data quality requirements. |

Run Data Checks syntax
The following table describes the Run Data Checks parameters:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
Input Feature | Yes | The input feature layer that is evaluated by the rule. Note:You can disable a map selection or layer definition query using the toggle button that honors the selection or filter before evaluation. Layer definition queries that include a spatial clause are not supported. |
Attribute Filter | No | A query that identifies the features to which the rule is applied. |
Evaluate | Yes | The geometric property of the feature evaluated by the check.
|
Type | Yes | The method used when evaluating a feature's area or perimeter.
|
Search Goal | Yes | Error conditions evaluated by the rule. Any feature whose values match those defined in the rule are returned as an error.
|
Name | Yes | A unique name for the rule. This information is used to support data quality requirement traceability. |
Extent | Yes |

Notes
Keep the following in mind when using the check:
- The errors found by this check differ depending on whether the entire feature or its individual parts or segments are evaluated.
- When this check is authored as an attribute (constraint) rule, support for geographic coordinate system-based datasets is limited to those using Web Mercator (WKID 3857) or WGS84 (WKID 4326).
- The Attribute filter parameter is limited to comparison (=, <>, >, <, >=, and <=) and logical (AND/OR, IN/NOT IN, LIKE/NOT LIKE, and IS NULL) operators.
- The Attribute filter parameter does not support the following field types: Big Integer, Date Only, Time Only, and Timestamp Offset. If selected, the row header is marked in red and does not allow the rule to be saved.
