This is the co-ordinate system that the imported data is set in. For the project map, this can be in any co-ordinate system and this will then be displayed. If this is to be used within a project, then this will need to match the system that the map is currently in.
Note: the Coordinate System listed will be based on the systems imported or made active in the Manage Co-ordinate Systems option in the System ribbon.
Enter the name used to reference the dataset; the name will be used in the Mapping Legend.
Enter a description to describe the spatial data set.
Once a file has been selected and the format, coordinate system and name have been specified, then the Import button can be pressed.
Once the import process has begun, the dataset will then be validated for use within the database and the mapping. This process can take a significant amount of time for very large datasets.
To see imported datasets on the map, use the Manage Datasets command and turn Include on Map on.
