This webinar explores the geospatial components of FieldDoc.

FieldDoc offers geospatial data management unlike any other platform out there. Not only does the geospatial data link directly to your on-the-ground representations of restoration and conservation activities, but it also provides critical data to power the environmental benefit models in the system.

This live walkthrough will arm you with essential tips and tricks to get geospatial data into your account and maximize your success.

## Recap and Keep Learning!

## Atlas

Atlas visualizes your metrics and activity footprints. It is designed as a simple analytic tool. Data within a specific context is visible within the respective Atlas view.

## Map Editor

### Import

You can import shapefiles, GeoJSON files, and even .csv files into FieldDoc. We encourage use of the Importer if you are batch creating records and have your geospatial data on hand, as it will save you lots of time.

### Create New Records

From the Map Editor, you can create new activity records. Note: This functionality is not intended to be your entry point for multiple record creations.

#### Activity Records

Using the draw tools, you can add new activity records to your portfolio via Map Edit. Once delineated, you can add some attribute data such as the `Activity name` and `Activity description`. Additional attribute data will need to be added within the record.

### Edit Records

Within the Map Editor, you can edit the geometry within each Activity record feature.
