18.1 Export Data

All data layers stored in the IMIS system are available for export. There is an option to export layers within a specific ward. Layers can be exported in either a shape file or a KML file. This module supports further planning and analysis outside the IMIS system. Any GIS software can be used to view exported shape files. KML files can be easily viewed on Google Earth.

Overview:
