Drawing a Polygon

The drawing toolbar

When you first land on the Boundary tab in polygon or hybrid mode, the

toolbar shows:

in-progress shape is discarded and everything else on the map is left

alone.

You don't need to be precise. A rough outline that separates one crew's

area from the next is plenty; nobody's surveying property lines.

Multiple polygons per territory

A single territory can hold several disconnected shapes. Draw as many as

you need; that's the normal way to model a crew that covers two towns

with a gap in between. They're saved together as one boundary and treated

as a single territory for auto-assignment.

Editing an existing polygon

Once a polygon is finished:

Import GeoJSON

Click Import GeoJSON and pick a `.geojson` file. Accepted shapes:

Anything else is rejected with an error toast. Imported shapes replace

what's currently on the map, so if you want to combine an imported shape

with something you drew, export first and merge in your GIS tool.

Common sources for `.geojson`:

Export

Export downloads the current shape as `<territory-name>.geojson` so

you can:

The exported file is a standard GeoJSON FeatureCollection.

The "How boundaries work" explainer

The header of the Edit/Create Territory sheet has a How boundaries

work button that shows only on the Boundary tab. Click it any time you

need a refresher; it opens a sheet (or a bottom drawer on mobile)

walking through everything in this article in plain language, plus

keyboard shortcuts and where the map starts.

If the map doesn't load

If the map area appears blank with no zoom buttons and no attribution:

check your firewall / VPN / ad-blocker. The PortaPro map surface

uses the same tile server across every page, so if any map in the app

works, the settings map will work too.
