An alternative to change colour of the polygons is to use Poly Property that make it possible as well to distinguish between polygons that belong to the same report. |
If you would like to change the existing symbology, you need to use ArcGIS software to update IMSMA.mxd which is located in C:\IMSMAng\server\gis\maps folder.
In IMSMANG version 6.0 it is not possible to change the IMSMA.mxd to show different colours of the polygon based on Type, Status, etc. i.e. it is not possible to have red for Open, Orange for Worked on and Red for Closed. But it is possible to change how to polygon looks like in IMSMANG.
IMSMA layer Land - by Status
As example Land by Status will be used. Here the users wanted to have the polygons filled with diagonal stripes instead of filled solid.
