In this article we will go through the creation of prospects in Glex.
If you already have a .SHP , .JSON or .GEOJSON file for the prospect, it can be imported to Glex by following the steps detailed in the How to Import Prospect and Lead Shapefiles article.
There are several ways to create the polygon for the prospect:
Drawing freehand
Drawing by clicking
Entering coordinates one by one
In order to initiate all of these methods you have to select the “draw” tool in the toolbar. If the toolbar is not on your screen you can enable it under WIDGETS ⇒ TOOLS.
From the toolbar select the pencil icon and select your preferred type of drawing. Drag drawing will generate a large number of data points to create a smooth line, while click drawing gives you time to set your points (exit click drawing by double clicking the last point or clicking ESC).
In order to create a polygon through coordinates you must first draw one. You can then edit the polygon by double clicking it. In the top right corner a coordinate drop-down will appear where you can edit coordinates of the polygon.
In the edit menu it is also possible to change the name of the polygon.
The polygons are saved under the NOT SET data type found in the inspector WINDOWS ⇒ INSPECTOR. From here it is possible to add it to the appropriate layer by clicking on the ≡ symbol and selecting SAVE TO CLOUD. This will open an import window where you can select what the polygon represents and in what layer to store it (if this is for a new project you can also create a new layer here).
The new layers are accessible my the whole company as default. If you wish to share the data with a partner, see the PLACEHOLDER article.
In order to add the prospect data to the polygon, through the NPD prospect form, find the prospect in the inspector window or double click it on the map. The NPD form is located under VIEW AND EDIT DATA and attachments can be uploaded using the paperclip icon.
