OS Managers

The following OS Managers allow data supplied directly from Ordnance Survey to be loaded into SIS Desktop without translation and also handle COU updates.

These datasets must be loaded using the appropriate Manager and then read using the specific layer types. These datasets are not editable and only show tables which match the schema created by using the OS MasterMap Manager.

Click File on the Ribbon and select Utilities.

Remember the OS Managers need to be installed first to be usable.
