Spatial Exports Q: Can I export the information? A: Yes, most data types can be exported in a number of GIS / industry specific formats. These formats include: - File GeoDatabase - ESRI Shape File - MapInfo TAB - Google Earth (KML & KMZ) Information can also be exported as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Reports can also be generated in either Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF formats. Q: I selected the spatial export feature, but can t find the email? A: Please check your junk folder, as sometimes there are business rules in pace that direct these emails into that folder. Q: Can I save spatial searches? A: No. However, you can generate a spatial polygon and upload the entity IDs to create a saved search Q: I have received the email for the spatial exports, but I am unable to access the data file, as it says my session has expired? A: To retrieve the content for the spatial exports, you have to be logged in to EDIN. The email link is valid for 24 hours, after which you will be unable to access the files. Q: What is the maximum number of items that can be exported spatially? A: The maximum number of allowable features for export is 70,000. Under the item count section, items above this will be listed in red. For KML/KMZ the limit is less. For points, it is 5,000 and for polygons it is 1,000. Q: Why is it that every time I try to download content from a spatial export, it says my session has timed-out/is no longer valid? A: This is likely due to the fact that the web browser you are using is not your default browser. For example, when you select the link in the email, it tries to access the file using your default web browser. So if you are using Chrome, but your default browser is IE, it tries to start a new session. You can either change your default 11

browser, or copy and paste the link into your active web browser. You may also need to clear your cache and login again. 12

Third Party Integration Q: Is there a direct link between EDIN and Arc GIS or Petrel? A: No, but in the new release of EDIN you can download our data as a file geodatabase which allows for greater flexibility in the creation of Arc projects. Q: Direct Connect for EDIN doesn t bring in the data it says it does. Why not? A: This will be resolved in the next hotfix of Kingdom and is not an EDIN issue. 13
