Update Behavior

Perform Validations, Calculations, and Behaviors

Checked - The edits for each record are verified to make sure that they are valid and each record is recalculated and update.

• This protects the system from invalid data but takes more time to process.
• Updates related GIS features based on the geodatabase configuration.
• This is the recommended way of doing Global Updates.

Unchecked - The edits are pushed directly into the database without validation. This risks pushing invalid data into a field but processes the edits faster.

• This option is designed for edits to very large numbers of records.
• Only updates GIS if the Update GIS checkbox is checked.

Note: This can only be Unchecked if selection/filterset size falls within a range of records.

Update GIS

Tells the system to update related GIS records even though validations are turned off.

• This checkbox only appears if the Perform Validations... checkbox is enabled and the field is linked to the geodatabase.
