Storing the Reviewer workspace in a file geodatabase

Available with Data Reviewer license.

The Reviewer workspace is a geodatabase that contains the tables and feature dataset needed to store the results of your quality control workflows. The following process outlines the steps for setting up a Reviewer workspace when working with a file geodatabase.

Learn more about the different types of geodatabases.

Caution:

Directly editing the contents of the Reviewer workspace can corrupt the relationships between the tables and affect the overall workspace. It is recommended that you manage results using tools found in the Reviewer Table.

You can create the workspace using the Enable Data Reviewer geoprocessing tool or by completing the following the steps.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Data Reviewer.
3. Click the Reviewer Session Manager button on the Data Reviewer toolbar.

   The Reviewer Session Manager dialog box appears.

   

4. Click Browse in the Reviewer Workspace area.

   The Reviewer Workspace dialog box appears.

   

5. Navigate to the file geodatabase that you want the Reviewer tables and feature datasets to be created in.
6. Click Add.
7. Click New to start a new Reviewer session.
8. Choose an option for the spatial reference.
   • Use Default Spatial Reference (WGS-84)—Sets the Reviewer dataset's spatial reference to GCS_WGS_1984. This is the default spatial reference for ArcMap.
   • Use Active Data Frame Spatial Reference—The Reviewer dataset's spatial reference matches that of the active data frame.
   • Browse To Spatial Reference—Sets the Reviewer dataset's spatial reference to one you choose.

     Note:

     If you choose Browse To Spatial Reference, the New Spatial Reference wizard appears so you can choose the spatial reference you want to use with the Reviewer dataset.

   Note:

   The spatial reference selected for the Reviewer dataset should match the spatial reference of the data you are validating. This allows the error geometry to be stored in the feature classes within the Reviewer dataset.

9. If necessary, update the configuration keyword option in the Select Configuration Keyword area.

10. Click OK.

    The ID and Name text boxes are automatically populated in the Session area.

11. Click Start Session.
The button name changes to End Session.
12. Click Close to dismiss the Reviewer Session Manager dialog box.
