As an organization responsible for around two million parcels, we process thousands of plans and work items each month and maintain high standards for data quality. Having an efficient and precise way to validate the parcel fabric is essential to allow us to meet both our quality standards and SLAs.

Currently, with the parcel fabric, the validation can be run on the current extent. Although this can be used, it requires editors to make sure they have set their map extent to include all features that have been modified within their version, while not being so far zoomed out to include too many additional features. This can result in additional time spent trying to find the right balance in the map extent, as well as runs the validation on features that have already been validated.

The desired functionality would be to have the ability run the validate against only the features that have been changed in the version. This functionality is available with Data Reviewer for traditionally versioned enterprise geodatabases (using the ‘Changed Features Only’ option) but since the parcel fabric must be branch versioned, we are not able to leverage the functionality.

Adding the ability to validate and review only the features that have changed would improve the efficiency of updating the parcel fabric and ensure that all modified features are being reviewed.

We did something like this a long time ago.  We had a script that zoomed to each edited feature, zoomed out one step, then validated the map extent.  You should be able to generate a list of affect ID numbers.  It sped up validation exponentially.  It was back in ArcMap 9.x days, but I'm sure the concept could work now.
