There are numerous options for entering geospatial data into a field report. These options include:

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

Manually adding geospatial points

To manually add geospatial data for a point:

  1. From the Field Report Editor window, click the File:PencilBtn.png button.
    2. The Point and Polygon/Polyline List window displays.
  2. From the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window:
    1. Select the coordinate reference system that you would like to use from the Coordinate System list.
    2. Select the coordinate format from the Coordinate Format list.
    3. Follow the procedures detailed in How to Manually Add a Geospatial Point.
  3. Click the OK button to close the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.

Manually adding polygon and polyline points

To manually add geospatial data for a polygon or polyline:

  1. From the Field Report Editor window, click the File:PencilBtn.png button.
    2. The Point and Polygon/Polyline List window displays.
  2. From the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window:
    1. Select the coordinate reference system that you would like to use from the Coordinate System list.
    2. Select the coordinate format from the Coordinate Format list.
    3. Follow the procedures detailed in How to Manually Add Polygon and Points.
  3. Click the OK button to close the Point and Polygon/Polyline List window.

Drawing on the map to specify point coordinates

Represents a tip or note for using IMSMA Mobile. Before beginning these procedures, you should ensure that the map displayed on the Navigation window is at an extent that allows you to capture the coordinates.

To specify point and polygon coordinates by drawing on the map:

  1. From the Field Report Editor window, click the File:PencilBtn.png button.
    2. The Point and Polygon/Polyline List window displays.
  2. Follow the procedures detailed in the How to draw on the map to specify point coordinates section on page 100.
