Validate your address data

Data Reviewer for Addresses contains quality control checks that can be used to assess the quality of address data.

Batch jobs (*.rbj) are quality control models that encapsulate validation information to be run against a data workspace. They are easily distributed and help ensure the use of consistent checks when validating data so that it conforms to your organization's specifications.

To validate the address data, complete the following steps:

  1. Start a Reviewer session using MapsandGeodatabase\DataReviewer.gdb for Data Reviewer for Addresses as a Reviewer workspace and name your Reviewer session Address Batch Validation. Set the spatial reference to NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Illinois_East_FIPS_1201_Feet (US Feet).
  2. Click the Reviewer Batch Validate button on the Data Reviewer toolbar, and in the Batch Validate dialog box, do the following:
    • In Features to Validate, choose Full Database.
    • Click Add from File, browse to the Data Reviewer for Addresses Application folder. Choose the folder for your version of ArcGIS, and select the Addresses batch job.
    • In the Batch Jobs area, uncheck the Default, Duplicate Geometry, Execute SQL, and Geometry on Geometry group check boxes.
    • Click Validate All and click Run.
