Add custom shapefiles

The USA shapefile is included in this package. If you require geo data for other countries, you can download additional shapefiles. Each shapefile is a ZIP file.

Insight geo data contains five levels (layers) of data: countries, states, counties, cities, and ZIP codes. Each level is a set of shapes.

Note If the package contains more than one shape file (.shp), split them into several parts and pack each one separately.

Each zip file must contain a shapefile (.shp), a db file (.dbf) and an index file (.shx).

To add additional shapes to the geo data, obtain the shapes from a third-party provider or use a search engine to locate them. For example, you can use "shape + administrative + areas" as the search text. Shape files are available on the download page on the Global Administrative Areas website. When the shape files are available, upload them:

  1. Select Documents Tree > Geo Data.
  2. Select Click here to add new data.

    The Select shapefile window appears.

  3. In the Upload name field, add the name of the shape layer.
    1. Select the layer and the file to upload.
    2. Click OK.
  4. If you download the shapefiles from Global Administrative Areas, downloads, complete Define extraction fields as follows:
    1. States level

      • Code: id_1

      • Name: name_1
