Topology Class and Validation Rules/Data Reviewer in Same Database

Question

I have noticed that if I have a file geodatabase with both a Topology class and validation attribute rules, that the error inspector only works for topology. I have to delete the topology class before I can use the error inspector to evaluate and fix validation attribute rules.

Is this by design? I cannot find any documentation on topology + validation rules.

Hi,

You should be able to use the Error Inspector to view both Topology rule and validation attribute rule errors (although the Error Inspector may default to displaying Topology rule errors).

To view attribute rule errors, you will need to ensure that you have added the error layers to the map. From the Error Inspector, select the Error Layers item from the Source drop-down menu. Here is a doc topic that walks through this process.
