This topic outlines how to manually add individual trees in VertiGIS FM. You can alternatively import your own internal record of trees into the VertiGIS FM database using a CSV or XML file. This option is ideal for adding large quantities of trees simultaneously (for example, to establish an initial record of trees in the VertiGIS FM database).
Add a Tree
You can add a new tree to the database on the Tree Management search page.
To Add a Tree
1.Navigate to the Tree Management search page.
2.Under Objects, click Tree.
3.At minimum,
▪Enter an identifying number for the tree in the Tree Number field.
▪Select a species from the Tree Species menu.
▪Select an inspection interval from the Inspection Interval menu.
4.Enter any additional tree properties as available. Refer to Tree Details descriptions of all form fields.
5.Click Save or Save and Close.
Import Trees
As an alternative to manually creating trees, you can import them using an Excel file or by integrating your VertiGIS FM instance with a VertiGIS Studio web map that contains tree data.
Refer to Import and VertiGIS Studio Integration for more information.
You can contact support for assistance importing trees or other internal facilities management data into VertiGIS FM.
Edit an Tree

To Edit a Tree
1.Navigate to the tree's details page.
2.Click the Edit (

Trees selected in a batch edit do not need to be from the same version.
You can perform a batch edit on the Tree Management search page.
To Batch Edit Multiple Trees
1.Navigate to the Tree Management search page.
2.Under Objects, click Trees.
3.In the search grid, select the trees you want to edit and click the Edit Trees (
