Detect gaps, overlaps, and invalid measures

Available with Location Referencing license.

You can run the ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing for Server quality control checks to detect gaps, overlaps, and invalid measures on event data with the Event Editor.

1. Open Event Editor and, if prompted, sign in to Portal for ArcGIS or ArcGIS Online.
2. Click the Review tab.
3. In the QC group, click Check Events.

   

   The Check Events on Route widget appears.

   

4. Click the Network drop-down arrow and choose the LRS Network that will serve as a source for selecting the location of the quality control check.

   This can be any LRS Network published as a layer in the Event Editor.

5. Choose a route using one of the following options:

   Note:

   If your network is configured to have a route name, the Route Name text box appears; otherwise, the Route ID text box appears. You can use any LRS Network published as a layer in Event Editor.

   • Type a route name or route ID.
   • Click the drop-down arrow, click Choose Routes, click Select a Route on the Map , and select the route on the map that will be used to check events.
   • Click the drop-down arrow and click Selected Routes to use all the routes in the route selection set.
   • Click the drop-down arrow and click Highlighted Routes to select only those routes that are highlighted from the route selection set.

   The selected routes are highlighted on the map.

6. Type a value for the start location of the quality control check in the From Measure text box, or use the Select From Measure on the Map tool to select the start location on the map.

   A green plus appears at the selected location on the map.

   Note:

   The Select From Measure on the Map tool is unavailable if you choose either Selected Routes or Highlighted Routes. In those cases, the from measure defaults to the start measure of the route.

7. Type a value for the end location of the quality control check in the To Measure text box, or use the Select To Measure on the Map tool to select the end location from the map.

   If you do not enter a value for From Measure and To Measure, the tool runs with the start and end measure values of the route.

   A red X symbol appears at the selected location on the map.

   Note:

   The Select To Measure on the Map tool is unavailable if you choose either Selected Routes or Highlighted Routes. In those cases, To Measure defaults to the end measure of the route.

8. Choose an option for validating events:
   • Check all event layers in the map.
   • Choose all the events present in a particular attribute set.
