Importing Data

TerraFlow supports the importing of Shapefiles into the DataEngine environment.

To do so, open app.terraflow.ca and login. 

 

1. Go the Projects page and tap "Import" on the project you want to import the data into

 

2. Next select the Shapefile (note, the Shapefile must be zipped as a Shapefile is in fact multiple files, and it must be in Web Mercator).

 

3. Select the Workflow, Job and Type (i.e. Poles, Valves, Gas Mains) etc that the data matches.

4. Map the data using the drag and drop editor OR you can type in Free Form text which will populate every imported feature with the keyed in value

 

5. Tap Preview

6. You can tap on any feature and inspect it's attributes

7. When you are happy, tap "Import" and the system will load your data
