Importing SHP Files

The second step in importing data from SHP files involves selecting the data sets to import.

File	Select the SHP file to import.
Windows (CP1252)	Drop-down menu to select the character set used for the attributes stored in the DBF file. If this parameter is not properly defined, it is possible that some characters will not be properly displayed. The default value is CP1252, this value is appropriate most of the time.

The third step allows you to configure the parameters of the layer that will be generated when the data is imported.

Projection	Drop-down menu allowing you to select the data projection. It is possible to select None. The JMap administrator determines which projection systems will be available to the user.
Layer name	The data will be imported into a layer whose name must be specified.
Import other data	It is possible to indicate that other data sets will be imported; this automatically brings you back to the first step.
