Create spatial data for Miradi projects, programs and factors

Miradi Share allows you to create spatial data associated with Miradi projects, programs and specific factors within Miradi projects. See also Import spatial data to your Miradi project or program for information on how to import spatial data from other systems.

Spatial data overview

Spatial data can be created and edited for a number of Miradi elements:

• Program Boundary
• Project Boundary
• Targets, Human Wellbeing Targets, and Nested Targets
• Threats
• Strategies
• Activities and Monitoring Activities

In a Miradi project, the project home page (PROJECT OVERVIEW > Summary) shows only the project boundary.

Additional spatial data for the project can be viewed and edited on the Map page. See Create spatial data for Miradi projects.

If your Miradi projects are housed within a Miradi program space, any data created for Miradi Project Boundaries will also show up at the program level (for those people with appropriate project and program permissions). The home page for a Miradi program includes the boundary data for the program as well as all projects within the program.

To view and edit additional spatial data in a Miradi program, go to PROGRAM OVERVIEW > Map and see Create spatial data for your Miradi program. Note that program level data can be created and edited here, but project level spatial data must be edited within the project.

Create spatial data for your Miradi project

To add spatial data to your Miradi project, navigate to the Map page in the PROJECT OVERVIEW section.

Identify the factor you would like to create spatial data for by selecting it in the menu on the left (1). Your view will zoom to any data that already exists for that layer, and the spatial data editing tools will appear on the right.

To create data, select the type of data you want to create (point, line, rectangle or polygon) and click on the map to start drawing. If drawing a polygon or rectangle, close the loop by clicking on the first point to finish the shape.

To edit the shape you created, select "Edit an existing shape" from the menu on the right and use the controls to change your shapes. Click Save when you are done editing.

To close out of the spatial data editor and save your data, deselect the factor in the menu on the left. NOTE: If you navigate away from the Location window before deselecting the factor layer you were working in your data will not be saved.

Create spatial data for your Miradi program

Creating spatial data in your Miradi program works the same as creating spatial data in your Miradi project. To add spatial data to your Miradi program, navigate to the Location tab in the Program Overview section.

Create or edit data for the Program Boundary by selecting the check box and accessing the spatial data editor tools on the right.

To add a new Program Map Layer, you must import spatial data created in another geospatial information system as a zipped shapefile. Select '+' underneath Program Map Layer to add a map layer and follow the instructions on importing spatial data (shapefiles) created in other systems.
