Import spatial data using a shapefile

Export a spatial data shapefile from InfoAsset Planner, and then import the shapefile into an InfoAsset 360 project.


00:03

When migrating from InfoAsset Planner to Info360 Asset, there are a couple of ways to move your spatial data.

00:11

One of these options is to export shapefiles referenced in the InfoAsset Planner model from InfoAsset Planner,

00:18

and then import them into Info360 Asset.

00:21

Open your InfoAsset Planner project in ArcMap.

00:25

You can view which layers are being referenced by CoF and LoF analyses in the Catalog window.

00:33

Expand the InfoAsset Planner database.

00:36

In this example, the model is called FinishedProjectDB.gdb.

00:42

Locate the IMIC_Consequences and IMIC_Likelihood tables, and drag and drop each into the Table of Contents.

00:52

These tables contain the references to layers that were used in the risk analysis.

00:57

From the Table of Contents, right-click one of these tables and select Open.

01:02

In the Table window, locate the LayerFullName and LayerName fields.

01:07

These fields reference the layer or table used in the corresponding CoF or LoF analysis.

01:14

LayerFullName also shows the location of the layer, and specifies whether it is a shapefile or feature class, or if it points to the SDE location.

01:24

Note the Attribute field for any fields that are used to score the pipes in the LoF and CoF.

01:30

These fields will have to be mapped during the Info360 Asset import.

01:36

You can import these layers as shapefiles in Info360 Asset.

01:40

For this example, take note of the file location for the Waterbody layer.

01:45

As you can see, this layer is a feature class in a file geodatabase, so it will have to be converted to a shapefile.

01:54

Click Add Data.

01:57

In the Add Data dialog, navigate to the background layer file location, and then select Waterbody.

02:05

The layer is added to the Table of Contents.

02:09

Right-click the layer, and select Data > Export Data.

02:13

In the Export Data dialog, click the file location folder under Output feature class.

02:20

Select or create a folder to save the shapefile.

02:24

Add a Name of Waterbody.

02:26

Click Save, and then OK.

02:30

If you see a message asking if you want to add the exported data to the map as a layer, click No.

02:37

You are now ready to import this spatial data shapefile into Info360 Asset.

02:43

To start the import process, with an Info360 Asset project open, click the Data icon.

02:50

From the Spatial Data tab, click New Import.

02:54

Add the Layer Name of “Waterbody” and set the Data Source to Shapefile.

03:01

To import a shapefile, you need a single .zip file containing all the .shp, .shx, .dbf, and .prj files.

03:12

Click in the Drag and drop file here box to open your file browser.

03:16

Navigate to where you exported the Waterbody shapefile from InfoAsset Planner.

03:22

Select all of the Waterbody files, then right-click and select Send to > Compressed (zip) folder.

03:30

Select the newly created zip file, then click Open.

03:34

Map the fields that you are interested in seeing in Info360 Asset or using in CoF or LoF analysis that are based on spatial data attributes,

03:45

such as the ones in the Attribute field in the IMIC_Consequences and IMIC_Likelihoods tables.

03:52

In the table, click a row and select a Target Field.

03:58

Once the mapping is complete, click Import.

04:03

Add a Configuration name, such as “Config_Waterbody”, then click OK to start the import.

04:10

After the import is complete, the Import Complete popup opens, and you can choose to start a New Import or click I’m Done.

04:18

The Waterbody shapefile is now available on the Spatial Data tab.
