At the area, if you work in one of several industries (water, electric and gas, transportation, land records and addressing) bring a sample of your GIS data (a subset) in a file or personal geodatabase for a free data health check. You should know the features and attributes of your data.
During the 45-minute health check, an Esri industry expert will perform a diagnostic on your data and provide an explanation of the key data checks. If errors are detected, Esri staff will review key data concerns with you. Afterward, you’ll have a list of checks performed on the data, a geodatabase containing errors found, and a report of data accuracy. Learn more and sign up here for your data health check.
