Flag missing features

Available with ArcGIS Pro Standard and Data Reviewer licenses.

The Flag Missing Features tool allows you to create error results to identify the location of missing features. The flagged features are categorized as point errors, line errors, or polygon errors and are stored in the GDB_ValidationPointErrors, GDB_ValidationLineErrors, and GDB_ValidationPolygonErrors tables. This tool is available for file geodatabases, mobile geodatabases, and feature services published from branch versioned enterprise geodatabases.

Note:

This tool is different than the Reviewer workspace-based Flag Missing Features tool. This tool uses attribute rule error tables and does not require a Reviewer workspace.

Caution:

If visual review is disabled for a feature class, all visual review errors created by the Flag Missing Features tool are deleted.

Identify missing features

Complete the following steps to use the Flag Missing Features tool to identify missing features:

1. In ArcGIS Pro, open a map with features that require visual review.
2. Ensure that the feature class has global IDs, editor tracking, and visual review enabled.
3. In the Contents pane, right-click the layer that you want to review and click Add Error Layers.

   

   Error layers are added to the map.

4. On the Edit tab, click Manage Quality to open the Manage Quality tab.
5. On the Manage Quality tab, in the Semi-Automated Review group, click Flag Missing Features .

   The Flag Missing Features pane appears.

   Note:

   If the Flag Missing Features tool appears grayed out in the Manage Quality ribbon or if the Flag Missing Features pane appears disabled, ensure that error layers are added to the Contents pane and at least one layer has visual review enabled.

   

6. Click the Source drop-down arrow and choose the feature class with the missing features.

   Note:

   Only feature classes that have visual review enabled appear in the drop-down menu.

7. Click the Error Type drop-down arrow and choose the option that best describes the error.

   Note:

   If you choose Custom, the description can be edited to capture unique values.

8. Optionally, choose the missing feature's severity rank from the Severity drop-down menu.
9. Choose one of the following sketch geometry options to flag features as missing:
   • Point Error —Flag missing point features.
   • Line Error —Flag missing polyline features.
   • Polygon Error —Flag missing polygon features.

   Note:

   Duplicate sketch geometries will get discarded.

   

   Note:

   The Flag Missing Features parameters display the values that were last used.

10. Click the location where you want to add a missing feature in the active map and begin sketching.

    The pointer changes to the Flag Missing Features pointer and displays the name of the source feature layer and subtype.

    

    Note:

    Curve geometries are not supported geometry types for sketch geometries.

11. On the construction toolbar, click Finish to finish sketching the error feature.

    The error is committed and displayed in the Error Inspector pane.

12. Repeat steps 6 through 11 to flag missing features on another feature layer.

    The errors you flagged are stored in the attribute rule error tables and appear in the Error Inspector pane.

13. On the Edit tab, in the Manage Edits group, click Save to save your edits and to permanently save your visual review errors.
