Geospatial data for a Data Entry Form is entered by clicking the File:PencilBtn.png button on the Data Entry Form Editor window.

This displays the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.

Figure 47. Point and Polygon/Polyline List Window

There are numerous options for entering geospatial data into a Data Entry Form. These options include:

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