# As-Applied/As-Planted Data Import

To upload as-applied data files choose the **Import Data** menu and the **Upload Files** item. Then select **As Applied/As Planted**.

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 archive is treated as a single dataset (\*.shp and \*.dbf files are mandatory).

1. You can either drag and drop single or multiple AsApplied Datasets to the panel or click **Browse** button and select a dataset from your computer.
2. Click **Upload** button. Then GeoPard 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 be available in the tree in the As Applied/As Planted section for further interactions including ZonesMaps creation.

## As-Applied and As-Planted — Metadata & Units Reference

{% hint style="info" %}
Each shapefile archive **can optionally include** a \<filename>-Metadata.json file. The `DataAttributes` array tells GeoPard how to label and unit-convert each column. Unit strings use compound notation: t1ha-1 = t·ha⁻¹, km1hr-1 = km·h⁻¹.
{% endhint %}

#### Compound unit notation rules

Multiplication is written with `1` between tokens: km1hr-1 = km × hr⁻¹

Division uses negative exponent suffix `-1`: t1ha-1 = t × ha⁻¹ = t/ha

Cubic metres use brackets: \[m3]1ha-1 = m³/haSimple per-unit (no numerator): ha-1 = per hectare
