Improve Data Quality with Attribute Rules and Branch Versioning

• Contingent Values: domains, but between fields that are contingent upon each other (State > County > City > ZipCode)
• Attribute Rules: populates attributes, restrict invalid edits, generate errors on invalid existing features
• Branch Versioning: version administration tasks performed through services, tables are archived, simpler version queries, no compress required, post versions in parallel, conflict management is enhanced
• Slides from Presentation, useful links at end https://assets.onlineeventapp.com/esri/ucjuly21/EventFiles/esri2021uc/PresentationFiles/Uploads/19775197/25690212/12928-improve-data-quality-with-attribute-rules-and-branch-versioning.pdf
