Please note that the ProjName column in the Excel input file is purely for manual reference and not used by the import from Excel function.</li><li>When a '''Poly ID''' is provided, the coordinate data is will be a polygon/polyline point. Otherwise, the coordinate data is considered a '''single point'''.</li><li>If you would like to import geospatial data for multiple polygons/polylines, use different PolyIDs, keep the points for each shape together in the spreadsheet and begin each new shape with point number 1make the Point ID unique in the file. The example shown below illustrates a spreadsheet which defines two polylinespolygons.</li></ol>

<li>The PointNo cannot be NULL for any polygon/polyline points. If the PointNo is NULL and the coordinate is a single point, the PointNo will be set to 1.</li>
<li>The Point ID cannot be NULL, and must be '''unique ''' across all points in the Excel spreadsheet '''and ''' existing points in the Points table and Polygon/Polyline points table at the geospatial widget of the target object.</li>
<li>The Point Type must be valid. But if Point Type is not filled in, point 1 will be imported as a starting point; all other points will be imported as turning points.</li>
<li>The Xcoord and Ycoord values must conform to the coordinate reference format selected at the window. Available coordinate formats are: ''dd'', ''dd:mm'', ''dd:mm:ss'', ''X/Y'', and ''MGRS''.</li>
<li>If the Bearing, Distance, and FrPointID are not ''NULL'', the Xcoord and Ycoord values will be disregarded/voided.</li>
<li>The Bearing value must be in the range of -360 to +360.</li>
