To Explore Wastewater Feature Rules

Many feature classes in the wastewater data model are comprised of feature rules. Use the data model administrator to view, enable, or disable feature rules.

Feature rules are methods and triggers that process data according to predefined algorithms. For example, feature rules perform consistency and dependency checks at certain events, such as before inserting or after modifying a feature class. A number of predefined feature rules are available, or you can define your own server-side feature rules or create client-side feature rules.

When you run Data Acquisition workflows in the wastewater application, feature rules improve the efficiency of adding feature classes and ensuring data consistency.
