### **Field Boundary Import**
If you have a shapefile of your field or fields, you can upload it through **Import Data**. Go to the **Upload Files** tab.
Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:
* Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported
* 5MB is the maximum file size
* 1236ac/500ha is the maximum field area
* Each shape file is treated as a single field
* Labels will be created from the .dbf file
1. Select the farm to upload to.
2. Click the **Browse** button and select a file from your computer.
3. Click the **Upload** button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the field.

Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the boundary was uploaded successfully:
### **Soil Data Import**
Soil chemical analysis is one of the most important data layers in crop farming. Typically, the soil information is coming from agrochemical laboratories analyzing field soil samples collected based on a grid or zonal approach. The number of soil characteristics in a concrete file can vary from 5-10 macronutrients such as Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil organic matter (OM) content to 40-50 with all micronutrient properties.
You can upload soil sampling files into GeoPard Agriculture and get an easy-to-read heatmap for each attribute in the file. You can also create management zones based on any attribute, compare them with other layers such as historical crop productivity, and build variable-rate fertilizer prescriptions.
You can upload soil datasets via the **Import Data** menu item. Select **Upload Files**.
Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:
* Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported with points or polygons-based data.
* The attributes must be a Numeric type (Integer or Real, not String).
* 100MB is the maximum file size.
* Try to eliminate the usage of special symbols like %+@ in the attribute titles.
* The max amount of attributes is 20.
* Each shape file is treated as a single dataset (\*.shp and \*.dbf files are mandatory).
1. You can either drag and drop single or multiple soil datasets to the panel or click the **Browse** button and select a dataset from your computer.
2. Click the **Upload** button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the data.
Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully:
The soil data will appear in the **Soil Data** section and will be available for further actions, including Zones Map creation.
See [Zones Maps and Analytics](/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/zones-maps-and-analytics.md) for more details on how to create a Zones Map using soil data.
GeoPard also assists with the proper planning of Zonal Soil Sampling. You can plan your Soil Sampling points and route based on GeoPard Multi-Year Zones that reflect historical crop development patterns.
### **Yield Data Import**
To upload yield sampling files choose the **Import Data** menu item. Then select **Upload Files**.
Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:
* Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported with points or polygons-based data.
* The attributes must be a Numeric type (Integer or Real, not String).
* 100MB is the maximum file size.
* Try to eliminate the usage of special symbols like `%+@` in the attribute titles.
* The maximum amount of attributes is 20.
* Each shape file is treated as a single dataset (\*.shp and \*.dbf files are mandatory).
1. You can either drag and drop single or multiple yield datasets to the panel or click the **Browse** button and select a dataset from your computer.
2. Click the **Upload** button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the data.
Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully:
The dataset will appear in the **Yield Data** section and will be available for further actions, including Zones Map creation.
See [Zones Maps and Analytics](/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/zones-maps-and-analytics.md) for more details on how to create a Zones Map using yield data.
### **As Applied/As Planted Data Import**
To upload as-applied data files choose the **Import Data** menu item. Then select **Upload Files**.
Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:
* Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported with points or polygons-based data.
* The attributes must be a Numeric type (Integer or Real, not String).
* 40MB is the maximum file size.
* Try to eliminate the usage of special symbols like `%+@` in the attribute titles.
* The maximum amount of attributes is 20.
* Each shape file is treated as a single dataset (\*.shp and \*.dbf files are mandatory).
1. You can drag and drop one or more As-Applied datasets to the panel, or click the **Browse** button and select a dataset from your computer.
2. Click the **Upload** button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the data.
Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully:
The dataset will appear in the **As Applied/As Planted** section and will be available for further actions, including Zones Map creation.
See [Zones Maps and Analytics](/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/zones-maps-and-analytics.md) for more details on how to create a Zones Map using as-applied data.
### **Import from MyJohnDeere**
GeoPard users can import data such as boundaries, yield datasets, and as-planted or as-applied datasets from John Deere Operations Center into GeoPard.
You can upload the datasets via the **Import Data** menu item. Select **From MyJohnDeere**.
1. To import all available data you should select a field and click **Import All** button or use select functionality.
If a correct organization is not available, then you should go to **Here you can change organizations** link and add them. If the John Deere Organization is disabled (the name has grey color), then add access to the John Deere Operations Center.
After selecting, click **Import Selected** button.
2. In the next step, you see the import setting. If you want to import only boundaries, then select **Field boundaries** radio button, and click **Done** button to start the importing process. If previously the boundary was imported, then the data will be updated.
If you want to import assets with a boundary, then select **Data files** radio button, and click the **Next** button. If previously assets with boundaries were imported, then data will be updated.
After clicking, you will have the opportunity to select **Type** and **Period** of assets. **Period** dropdown has the opportunity to select a range of periods.
After selecting **Type** and **Period**, click **Done** button to start the importing process.
Wait for the confirmation message to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully. When data is migrated, you can click **Go to field** link to review the data.
