Set Validation Rules

The ArcFM QA/QC tool in ArcMap uses validation rules to determine the validity of objects in the geodatabase. Class Validation Rules validate both features and objects as well as their related objects. Field Validation Rules determine whether a field in an object class holds a value from a set of coded domain values or within a range of numeric values. To set a validation rule, right-click the feature in the ArcCatalog TOC and select ArcFM Properties Manager.

For Class Validation rules, select the Object Info tab. Select the checkbox of the rule(s) you want enabled.
Esri Field Rules verify that the values fall within coded value or range domains. Refer to Esri documentation for more information.
Esri Rules verify connectivity and relationship rules. Refer to Esri documentation for more information.

For Field Validation rules, select the Field Info tab. Choose from the Validation Rules field.

A list of validation rules included in the ArcFM installation are available in the Appendix. You may also create your own custom validation rules (see the ArcFM Solution Developer Help).
