Complex Geometry

The Complex Geometry quality control (QC Quality Control) check identifies records in which the geometry's properties are outside of the normal acceptable geometrical attributes for most public safety applications.

Note: GIS Geographic Information System. A computer application that involves storing and manipulating electronic maps and related data. Also, mapping software combining spatial information about where places and events are located with data attributes describing those places and events. Data Hub supports empty geometry and complex geometry upon upload; however, empty geometry records are not transferred into the target dataset and complex geometry is simplified. As a result, Complex Geometry is only allowed to run on Source datasets. Please note this QC check does not modify data.

To run this check, a feature class in the source dataset with geometry attribution is required; point, line, or polygon.

Configurations for QC check parameters contain filters to prevent selecting incompatible field types.

The following parameters can be specifically configured for the Complex Geometry QC check.

  • Run On: Non-configurable. This QC check inspects the source dataset.

  • Severity: Sets the importance level of this QC check’s fallouts. Critical fallouts prevent export package outputs but will still provide fallouts.

  • Layer Name: The name of the layer this QC check should inspect.

  • Reporting Unique ID: A unique identifier in the layer that can be used to uniquely identify a singular feature.

  • Vertices Threshold: The maximum number of vertices a singular feature may contain.

The following information is included for this QC check's fallout output.

  • QC check name
  • Description of the QC check
  • Feature class where the fallout appears
  • Unique ID as is defined in the source data
  • Extended information providing more details about the fallout
  • Latitude and longitude of the fallout's location

The example below shows possible error messages you may receive when a record fails the Complex Geometry QC check.

Here is an example of possible error messages that may be received for the Complex Geometry QC check.
