==How to Manually Add coordinates for Point data ==__NOEDITSECTION__

To manually add geospatial data for a point: 
<ol>
<li>Click the [[Image:FieldTemplateIcon.png]] button in the Points table of the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.</li>
<li>From the Point window, enter the point number in the Point No. field. Note that this is a required field.</li>
</ol>

{{note|The fields available in the Points window will depend on the coordinate reference system that you selected.}}

</div>

<ol start="3">
<li>Select the type of point that you are defining from the [[Point Types|'''Point Type''']] field.</li>
<li>Enter the local identifier for the point in the '''Point ID''' field. Note that this is a required field.</li>
<li>Do one of the following:</li>
*To enter an absolute point, enter the coordinates in either the '''X/Longitude''' and '''Y/Latitude''' fields, or the '''MGRS''' field.

{{note|Absolute points are those points for which you know the coordinates. Relative points are those points for which you may not know the coordinates, but you do know the distance and bearing from an absolute point.}}

*To enter a relative point:
<ol type="a">
<li>Enter the distance of the point from the absolute point in the '''Distance''' field.</li>
<li>Enter the bearing of the point relative to the absolute point in the '''Bearing''' field.</li>
<li>Select the point from which the distance and bearing are defined from the '''From Point''' list.</li>
</ol>
<li>Enter a description for the point in the '''Point Description''' field.</li>
<li>Do one of the following:</li>
*To save the point and close the Point window, click the '''OK''' button.
:If you entered a relative point, the coordinates for the point are calculated based on the distance and bearing that you entered. 
*To save the point and continue adding more points, click the '''Apply''' button.
*To close the Point window without saving the point data, click the '''Cancel''' button.
</ol>
