Add a new symbol to IMSMA.mxd

If you need to add symbols, you need to use ArcGIS software to update IMSMA.mxd which is located in C:\IMSMAng\server\gis\maps folder.

As example Place by Type will be used. A symbol for Office needs to be added to Place Type.

IMSMA layer Place - by Type

1. Right-click on the layer and choose Properties in the menu.
2. The following window displays.



Layer Property window - Symbology tab

3. Go to the Symbology tab. Note how the Value is written and the difference between Value and Label. You need to write exactly like the Value is written for the existing symbols (including spaces) for the new symbol.

The syntax is different for different types of symbols. It is not possible to edit the Value so if you did a mistake then delete the Value row and start over with Add Values.

4. You will find the Value in the Data Inventory Manager.
