Re: GIS/GML Import Assistance

 

Hi Travis,

I tried your GmL file and it seems to work flawlessly. The coordinates for
both South and East import correctly and display like they should in GIS.

You can check if the coordinates are imported or not by looking at
https://yourserver/api/organisationUnits.json?filter=name:$ilike:Darfur&fields=name,coordinates

Is the coordinate field for East Darfur in fact populated?

Also, as you have not put any other identifier (id, code) in your GML file
the orgunits are matched on name, meaning there must exist an orgunit with
the exact name "East Darfur" for the import of those polygons to work. The
GML import will not create a new orgunit for you if it is missing.
