Extent refers to geographic boundaries for your project. Spatial extents lets users see at a glance the geographic footprint of your project and allows searching within specific geographic areas.

Extent

Required

Spatial extents should be included for all applicable products. As a default, products should inherit extents from their parent project. geoJSON files for specific geographies are available on (private DMWG folder that requires ScienceBase login). Download the relevant files and then import the geoJSON files into mdEditor.

Tip: You can export, save, and import an extent to use for other projects or products.

See further information on Extents in the .
