The geospatial data from the spreadsheet is appended to any existing data in the Points or Polygons table.
{{note|'''Import Point''' button works to import point and polygon shapefiles. }}
{{note|If the selected coordinate reference system at the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window is different from the coordinate reference system specified in the .prj file, the coordinate data will be re-projected to the selected coordinate system specified at the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.}}
===Shapefile Import Business Rules===__NOEDITSECTION__
<p>To import geospatial data from a shapefile, the file must be created according to the following business rules:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the selected coordinate reference system at the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window is different from the coordinate reference system specified in the .prj file, the coordinate data will be re-projected to the selected coordinate system specified at the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.</li>
<li>If a PointID value is not provided in the shapefile, each coordinate data will be automatically assigned a unique PointID value.</li>
<li>If a PointID is provided in the shapefile, it must be unique across all coordinate data listed in the Points table and in the Polygon/Polyline Points table on the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.</li>
