<p>To import geospatial data from the shapefile (.shp format):</p>

<li>Click the [[Image:EditReportIcon.png | Import Points]] button. The Open window displays[[Image:PointandPolyListWindow.png|500px|center]]</li>

{{note|'''[[Image:EditReportIcon.png]] Import PointPoints''' button works to import imports both point and polygon shapefiles. Point shapefile will be imported into '''''Points table''''', Polygon and Polyline shapefiles - into '''''Polygon and Polyline Points''''' table.}}

{{noteNote|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.}}
