2. Select a layer from the drop-down list.

3. Click the asset symbol to add the asset to the map.

4. If the asset is a point, click the location on the map where the new asset should be.

If the asset is a line, you have the option to draw the asset on the map by Freehand Polyline or Polyline.

5. To draw the asset manually, select Freehand Polyline, click on the map, and drag the mouse to draw the feature.
6. To draw the asset in a straight line, select Polyline and click the initial start point of the line on the map. Click another point on the map to create a line. Double-click to end the line.

A blue progress bar appears in the Editor panel to indicate edits are saved.

The object ID is automatically created for any asset added.
