Adding Overlays

Overlays are digital representations of real-world objects. An overlay in SIS Desktop usually consists of a collection of similar objects (e.g. roads, buildings, sales territories, flood zones.)

To add your data as an overlay to the Map Window use Home > Map > Add Overlay

Ensure you have a Basemap on which to stack the overlays. See Landing Page for information.
