Guidelines for Shapefiles

Naming Files
 It helps to make sure the polygon names in your spreadsheet match your file names exactly. Keeping names free of special characters or symbols (#, &, *) will also prevent any technical hitches during the upload.
File Formats

 We can work with standard formats including .shp, .gdb, .geojson, .kml, and .kmz. For shapefiles, including all the associated components like .shx and .dbf files ensures everything integrates correctly. 

Tags

You can assign up to five tags to each site so it’s worth considering how you might want to view your data later such as by region or land use so these can be set up as filters for you.

Grouping Files

Organizing your data into a zipped folder for each individual site helps our data team process and upload your information much faster.
