Writing selected features to the Reviewer table

Available with Production Mapping license.

Features that are selected either inside or outside an edit session can be written to the Reviewer table from the Feature Manager. Using the Commit To Reviewer Table command, you can write groups of selected features, or all of them, to the Reviewer table as new records. For instance, if you notice that features have not been digitized correctly based on their real-world locations, you can write them to the Reviewer table so they can be updated.

When the features are written to the Reviewer table, the CHECKTITLE and ORIGINCHECK fields indicate that the features are from the Feature Manager.

The Reviewer table with features from the Update tab

Note:

You can also use the Browse Features window to write features to the Reviewer table. However, the Update tab allows you to write consecutive or nonconsecutive groups of features to the Reviewer table. You can also identify which features are currently selected on the Update tab; you can only browse to each one on the Browse Features window.

1. Select features using one of the following tools:
   • Select Features tool on the Tools toolbar
   • Edit tool on the Production Editing toolbar

   The selected features appear on the Update tab on the Manage Features window.

2. Start a Reviewer session in one of the following:
   • A file, personal, or SQL Server Express geodatabase
   • An enterprise geodatabase
   • An existing Reviewer workspace
