ADDING SHAPE FILE FOR ENUMERATION ARE

Post by Aboma »

Hello,

I want to add shapefile for certain enumeration Area so that when I'm in field I can automatically view only that area.
Thanks

CSPro has no native support for shapefiles or for geofencing. You can look at the mapping capabilities here:

If you can convert your shapefile to a MBTiles or ArcGIS Tile Package file, you can display it along with an enumerator's location:

This does not support geofencing, but would allow enumerators to visually see where they are within the EA boundaries.

Any updates on being able to use Shape Files? I'm interested in using a satellite or street map base layer, with an EA boundary layer over it, and then the locations of the households to be interviewed.
Thanks.

Nothing has changed since that post except for the ability to display/collect vector geometry as GeoJSON. However, that means that you can convert your shapefile to GeoJSON and then display it on a map: https://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/M ... ction.html

There are quite a few resources online that explain how to create GeoJSON files from shapefiles. You can do it from ArcGIS: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/lates ... o-json.htm

Or from free tools like QGIS: https://mapscaping.com/converting-shapefiles-to-geojson
