Create and Edit Land Units

A land unit represents a geographic location that you want to have in Borealis that is not a cadastral unit (parcel) or an asset that you own (company assets). It could be a separation of the land for exploration purposes, environmental protection areas or anything else. In Borealis, land units are components of the Land Management module and can contribute to bringing additional information to a stakeholder's record. All interactions and engagement plans also contain references to land units.
