Geospatial data for a field report is entered by clicking the File:PencilBtn.png button on the Field Report Editor window.

This displays the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.

There are numerous options for entering geospatial data into a field report. These options include:

  • Entering the data manually
  • Drawing on the map
  • Importing data from a spreadsheet
