ChangeReporter

Résumé

Finds changes made to individual feature classes or an entire geodatabase between specified dates or between different versions based on a precreated preference. The changes that can be found include feature inserts, updates, and deletes.

Discussion

The ChangeReporter function allows you to find changes made to individual feature classes or an entire geodatabase between specified dates or between different versions. The changes reported are additions, modifications, and deletions made in feature classes, tables, and data-driven elements that impact one or more charts. Once found, these changes are automatically committed to the Reviewer table for further examination. The feature classes and tables to be analyzed by the ChangeReporter function are stored in preferences.
