Committing records to the Reviewer table based on attribute values

Available with Data Reviewer license.

Using the Review Attributes command, you can choose a feature class, then a field within the feature class, and view all the unique values for that field. When you choose a unique value, you can immediately see how many features contain the selected value and commit them to the Reviewer table as needed.

This command allows you to choose a feature layer in the table of contents, then indicate a text field whose values you can use to filter. Some examples of a text field that could be used include f_code/F_CODE, NAM, OPERATOR, and ORIGINATING_SOURCE.

Note:

Although the gfid/GFID attribute is a text field, it is not listed in the Review Attributes dialog box.

Note:

A defined geographic transformation method is recommended when working with map features referenced to a different spatial reference than that defined for the active Reviewer workspace.
