Introduction to the ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Desktop tutorial
In this tutorial, you will create a Reviewer session and manage records as you progress through the data review cycle. You will also learn how to configure automated quality control checks and how to schedule the checks to run automatically using the Data Reviewer service.
It is recommended that you complete the tutorial in sequence, since the software methods build on those introduced in earlier exercises and assume you understand those concepts. You should complete each section's exercises together.
