Validate Data for a Mobile Project

The Table Validation window allows you to set up rules for the fields in the table before you export the project to the Discover Mobile app.

Activity Steps

1. Ensure the project is open on the Map scene.
2. On the Mobile ribbon tab, in the Setup group, click Table Validation.The Table Validation window displays the vector data tables that are in the active Map scene.

   Note: Discover for ArcGIS Pro validates the source tables and stores the validation in C:\Users\<User_Name>\AppData\Roaming\Datamine\DiscoverArcGIS\Configuration TableMetadata.db. Whenever this table is used in a Mobile Project, the validation is inherited.

3. Select a Table to validate.
4. Complete the Table Validation based on the following field descriptions:
