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 Reviewer 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.

   Note:

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

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