Parsing of fields in your file
The following case-sensitive fields are parsed and saved for your AOI:
name
: this becomes the AOI nametags
: this should be comma-separated, and populates the list of tags for each AOI. (In future, we will support editing of AOI tags & enable their use for more advanced aggregation and analysis)All other custom fields will be parsed and put into an
attributes
field in GO. These attributes are accessible if you subsequently download the AOIs out of GO, or via the API.To learn more about AOI metadata, click here.
