Usage

  • The input workspace must be a Reviewer workspace. Use the Enable Data Reviewer tool to create a Reviewer workspace.

  • The input workspace must contain the current version of the Reviewer schema. If it does not, use the Enable Data Reviewer tool to upgrade the workspace.

  • The Session Template parameter allows you to copy properties from an existing Reviewer session into the new session created by this tool. Properties include the following:

    • Continue batch processing if check fails

    • Continue batch processing if default checks return error

    • Reviewer Table Properties

    • Default checks

    If you use a session template, the following parameters will be disabled:

    • Check For Duplicates

    • Do Not Store Geometry

    • Session User Name

    • Session Version

    To specify these parameter values for the new session, do not choose a session template.

  • The Check For Duplicates parameter specifies how duplicate validation results will be handled in the session. Duplicate errors are those that have matching values in the OBJECTID or IDENTIFIER, REVIEWERCODE, ORIGINTABLE, and PARAMETER fields.
