<p>To import geospatial data from the shapefile (.shp format):</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the [[Image:EditReportIcon.png | Import Points]] button. The Open window displays[[Image:PointandPolyListWindow.png|500px|center]]</li>
<li>From the Open window:</li>
<ol type="a">
<li>Select the file (.shp format)</li>
<li>Double click on the file name or click the '''Open''' button</li></ol></ol>
<br />
The geospatial data from the spreadsheet is appended to any existing data in the Points or Polygons table.
{{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 but will be split into points list that compose this polyline or polygon.}}
{{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.}} {{Note | The used decimal symbol in the shape file must be the same as the Regional settings of the importing computer.}}

<p>To import geospatial data from a point shapefile, the file must be created according to the following business rules:</p>
<ol>
<li>A PointID value is a mandatory field and should be provided for each point and be unique across all coordinate data listed in the Points table. It should be of '''Short Integer''' type.</li>
<li>A PointType is a mandatory field and should be provided for each point. It must correspond to the Geospatial Point types list defined by IMSMA. The field should have '''Text''' type.</li></ol> [[Image:Point import.png|700px|center]]<div align="center">'' Points imported into {{IMSMANG}}''<br /div>Download the example of the a Point Shapefile shape file from '''[[FileMedia:PointImportTemplate.rar|here]]'''.

<li>A The Polygon attribute Table table must contain field called '''PolyID field ''' of '''Short Integer ''' typeand have a '''value''' e.g. 0 or 1.</li>
<li>Coordinate Format, Coordinate System, Bearing, Distance, Point ID, Point Number, Point Type, X/Long, Y/Lat are optional to be included into the attribute table. </ol>
