To upload unit shapes

1. Choose Data Management > Unit Shapes. The Unit Shapes page appears.
2. Select the Geographic Area, Agency, and Unit that you are uploading shapes for.
3. Enter a Label for your shape. This label appears in the layer switcher on the map, so make sure that it accurately and simply reflects the shape's purpose or content. For example, "Spotted Owl" or "Kickapoo Campground".
4. Enter a Category for the shape. This tells other users what the shape is used for. For example, "Barrier", "Habitat", or "Structures". Your unit should agree on consistent categories and naming conventions for Unit Shapes.
5. Enter a Description that provides more details about the shape. For example, "full-service campground with electrical and water".
6. Click Browse to navigate to the shapefile you are uploading. The Choose File to Upload window appears.
7. Navigate to the shapefile you want to upload, then click Open. The full path for your file appears in the File to Upload field.
8. Mark the Include in Values checkbox to include the shape in the Values layer and Values Inventory. You can change this at any time by choosing Data Management > Unit Shapes > de-select the checkbox next to the selected shape.
9. Click Upload. The shapefile appears in the Shapes for Unit list.

You can now use the shapes with incident objectives, M.A.P.s, and other tasks.
