{{Warning| The sandbox and the client background map are used the {{IMSMANG}} application so if they become broken then the Map pane inside {{IMSMANG}} stop working.}}
The '''[[Connecting to IMSMA Staging area from ArcGIS | Staging area database option]]''' is the best one since it gives you access to all attributes including CDFs in ArcMapand PostGIS is activated in the Staging area database. There is a special mxd file for the Staging area in the ''C:\IMSMAETLTool\data'' folder. The sandbox option is '''not''' recommended to use but if you decided to do it anyhow please:# make a copy of the client background map # make a copy of the file based geodatabaseand use these when working with ArcGIS.Both of them are found in the client's current background map folder in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox''. If the client's current background map is called ''World'' then you will find the World.mxd in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map''.<li>Close the {{IMSMANG}} client.<li>Copy this file to a new name e.g. World_3Aug.mxd.<li>Copy the folder called ''IMSMA.gdb'' in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map'' (which is the file based geodatabase) to e.g. IMSMA_3Aug.gdb. <li>Change the Data source for all layers with ArcCatalog to IMSMA_3Aug.gdb. See instructions [[http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/map/working-with-layers/repairing-broken-data-links.htm#GUID-4A6945FD-F159-4FB3-B6D8-699E930D879A Changing the data source when the link isn't broken]].
