CFLR Program Frequently Asked Questions
Question
How do I attach a file (like a shapefile) to the Landscape Restoration Proposal WebMap?
Answer
The best way to attach your shapefile will be as a zip file attached to an existing polygon. (See a 4 minute Webmap tutorial recording…)
- In ArcGIS, place shapefile into a newly created folder.
- In windows explorer, zip up the folder using an existing compression utility (7-zip, winzip, etc.)
- In the web map, select the appropriate proposal polygon template (CFLRP or Joint Chiefs).
- Draw a polygon that approximates your project, or you can just create a simple shape of your choosing.
- When you complete your shape, a dialog box will appear that allows you to enter in key proposal and contact information.
- Towards the bottom of that dialog box, you will see a button saying “Choose File”
- Click on that link and navigate to the folder you zipped up. You can add additional files if you like.
