Attribute rules enhance the editing experience and improve data integrity for geodatabase datasets. They are user-defined rules that can be used to automatically populate attributes, restrict invalid edits during edit operations, and perform quality assurance checks on existing features. They can be configured to trigger as edits take place or evaluated as a batch operation at a later time offering a massive boost in your productivity.
