To draw a landscape mask:

1. Navigate to the appropriate map by doing one of the following:
   • Choose Incidents tab > select the Incident > click Assess Situation.
   • Choose Analyses tab > select the analysis > click View Information > Analysis Map. (The Analysis Landscape file must already exist before you can do this option.)
2. Pan and zoom into the area where you wish to draw a mask.
3. Select the map tool you want to use to create a shape on the map (rectangle or polygon).
4. Place your cursor on the map and draw the shape.
5. Click the green plus  icon to the right of the Landscape Masks layer.
6. Enter a Name for the mask.
7. Click Save. The temporary shape appears both on the map with the given label and in the Layer Tree under Landscape Masks

NOTE: The Situation Map and the Analysis Map have the same functionality. The View Landscape Map currently only views the landscape.
