To create parcels or display lines and polygons for various record types in Borealis, such as Compliance Areas, Company Assets, Land Units, and Organizations, you will need to import geometry files.
Borealis uses Shapefiles in conjunction with a projection system to draw the points, lines and polygons associated with records on the map.
