Adding a Geo-Object Type

Registry Administrators can create the Geo-Object Types under the curation mandate of their organization

1. Navigate to the Geo-Objects and Hierarchies page from the sidebar and make sure Geo-Object Types is selected at the top of the list.

   
2. Click Add Geo-Object Type under your organization.

   
3. Fill out the form:

   Field	Description	Required
   Code	The unique human-readable identifier. It tells Geo-Object Types apart if two have the same label. It can't be changed later.	Required
   Label (Default Locale)	The display label for the Geo-Object Type. It's used when the default locale is selected in the language toggle, or when another language is selected but has no label.	Required
   Label (other installed locales)	A display label for each other locale installed in the system.
   Description (Abstract)	A description of the Geo-Object Type, with one field per installed locale.
   Group Membership	Shows whether this is a group. It can't be changed here. To create a group, click Add Group instead. See Geo-Object Type Groups.
   Visibility	Select Private to make the Geo-Object Type visible only to people in its organization. Public types can be viewed (read only) by all organizations.
   Geometry Type	The geometry that all Geo-Objects of this type must have: Point, Line, Polygon or Mixed Geometries. It can't be changed later.	Required
   Enable geometry editing	Whether Geo-Object geometries can be edited with Geoprism Registry's web-based editing tools. Selected by default.
   Organization	The organization that manages the Geo-Object Type. It's filled in with the organization you clicked Add Geo-Object Type under, and can't be changed.
   Concept Set	Optional. The Concept Set used to classify Geo-Objects of this type. Selecting one adds a classification attribute to the type. When you import Geo-Object data, you map a column in your file to this attribute, and its values must be Concepts in the Concept Set. IMPORTANT: The Concept Set can't be added, changed or removed after the Geo-Object Type is created.
   Start Date / End Date	The period of validity for the Concept Set on this type. Only shown when you choose a Concept Set.	Required with a Concept Set
   Root Term	For a taxonomy Concept Set, the Concept whose branch of the taxonomy provides the allowed values.
