    Manually add geospatial points or polygon/polyline points Manual Geospatial Data Entry.
    Draw on the map to specify point, polygon, and polyline coordinates Draw on the Map to Specify Geographic Coordinates.
    Import geospatial data from Excel Import Geospatial Data from Excel.
    Import geospatial data from shapefile Import Geospatial Data from Shapefile.
    Note.jpg You can preview the points that you have entered on a map by clicking the PreviewPoints.png button.
  10. Set the preferred map extent. The preferred map extent displays whenever you select the country structure from the country structure pane. To set the preferred map extent:

    2. From the Country Structure Editor window, click the Capture.png button.
    3. Follow the instructions in the Map Extent window.
    4. When the extent of the Map pane is the desired, click the Capture button.
      5. The Country Structure Editor window’s Preferred Map Extent field changes to Captured.
    Note.jpg If a map extent has been specified for the Country structure then the map will be centered based on the map extent. If there is no map extent set then the geopoint number 1 is used
  11. Click the Save button.
