===== How it works =====

This option lets you load a map or GPS point file into EasyMapping by selecting a file.

Several file types are accepted by the application:
  * Files extracted from Septentrio tags (xxx**.211**, xxx**.221**, xxx**.231**…)
  * Projects saved by EasyMapping (xxx**.project** anciennement xxx**.save.geojson**)
  * Exported maps for robots (xxx**.geojson**)

===== Application =====

When the option is activated, a window appears with several elements:
  - A search bar
  - A list of user cards
  - A button to open a local map

==== Search bar ====

The search bar only appears if more than one e-mail address is available for the logged-in user.

Use the search bar to select a user from the drop-down list or by typing their e-mail address.

Selecting a user in this way displays a list of their cards in the user list.

==== List of user cards ====

The user map list displays maps stored by online users, as well as maps associated with their robots.


For each user in the list, we can find :
  * personal folders and sub-folders with one or more cards inside
  * a **robots** folder, containing all the robots assigned to it
  * a button to create a new folder

For each folder in the list, several options are available:
  * Archive folder contents (not available for **archives** and **robots** folders)
  * Create a subfolder (not available for the **robots** folder and for each robot's folder)
  * Delete folder and contents (not available for the **robots** folder and for each robot's folder)
  * Refresh user cards

For each file in the list, several options are available:
  * Archive the file
  * Delete the file
  * Rename the file
  * Upload file
  * Modify notes

What's more, clicking on a file automatically loads it into the application, if no file of the same name is already loaded.

==== Opening a local file ====

Once the button is pressed, a browser window opens, allowing you to select one or more files and import them into the application.

Once the files have been selected and validated, each card appears:
  * On the [[maps_visualization|map window]] centered on the loaded card
  * In the [[layers_dialog|list of maps loaded into the application]]
