Frequently Asked Questions: DFIRM Tools – GIS Data ReViewer

The information that I entered for an error record is incorrect.

You can copy the incorrect error record from the back-up error table to your working error table. Only the original error information will show.

1. Identify the error number (ErrNum) of the record in which you made the incorrect entry. Let's say the ErrNum of the record of interest is 8.
2. Open the back-up table by right-clicking anywhere on the error table records and selecting Open Back-up Table from the list. The back-up table will appear in your ArcMap project.
3. Locate the record with ErrNum 8 in the back-up table. Scroll to the right to make sure that you are looking at the record that contains erroneous information.
4. Right-click on the record and select Copy from the options. This will place a copy of the record into the error table. You will see a new record created in the back-up table with a new ErrNum and a status that reads "Copied from Record #8." The new record that appears in the back-up and error tables will show only the information entered when the error was first committed to the table.
5. Close the back-up table.
6. Enter the correct error correction/correction validation information and delete the old, incorrect record.
