ArcGIS Data Reviewer

The Pro 2.7 release includes new methods for automated validation and enhancements to error management tools.

Automated validation methods: Automated validation evaluates a feature’s quality without human intervention, thereby saving time and resources spent to ensure data can be trusted.

Domain Finds attribute values that do not comply with coded value or range domains that are associated with an attribute field.
Duplicate Feature Finds features of the same geometry type that are collocated and share attributes.
Subtype Finds features or rows that contain improper or null subtype values.
Table to Table Attribute Finds features or rows that contain attribute values that meet a relationship you define to values in another feature class or stand-alone table.
Unnecessary Nodes Finds polyline features that share a node and contain identical attribute values.
Unnecessary Polygon Boundaries Finds polygon features that share a common boundary and contain identical attribute values.

Note: The automated checks poster has been updated and is now available in multiple languages to facilitate planning and implementation of quality control workflows using automated checks in Data Reviewer.

Error Management: The Error Inspector pane is enhanced to enable filtering based on one or more selected filter types, such as life cycle phase, status, or severity.
