The further out you are zoomed from your map, the longer it will take to export the map. |}}
<p>The export map feature allows you to save a copy of the map extent either to an .apm format so that it can be imported into ArcPad for more advanced geoprocessing, or to a .pdf file as an un-editable visual snapshot.</p>

Before exporting, you should display the map exactly as you want it to look (show or hide icons, shapes, and pins, recentre the map, zoom in or out, and so on). |}}

The XLS Import feature allows you to import field report data or auxiliary data (organisations, explosive ordnance, places, and country structure levels) into IMSMA using a Microsoft Excel file.
