Users in NEXGEN have the ability to edit GIS layers directly from the GIS module in NEXGEN. Before being able to edit GIS features, GIS settings must be configured correctly by system administrators and GIS users must enter the proper login information.

Follow the steps below to do this. You must do this initial setup through a web browser. You cannot complete this initial setup on our NEXGEN mobile applications. **Please note that your internal team's GIS administrator will need to provide you with login credentials if needed.
