Overview

The current plot import in Polygon One is a staged review workflow. You do not simply upload a file; instead, before the final import you see a structured preview with notes on precision, country plausibility, and individual problematic rows. You usually open this workflow via Plots → Import areas. The supplier portal uses the same technical core, but there with stricter restrictions for suppliers.

​
Supported File Formats

  • GeoJSON and .json
  • CSV
  • Excel (.xlsx, .xls)
Depending on the file, Polygon One recognizes, among other things:
  • GeoJSON geometries
  • WKT geometry columns
  • Point lists with latitude and longitude
  • Properties such as area name, country, producer, and production data

​
The Process in Detail

1

Assign supplier and articles

First, assign the import to a supplier and the affected articles. This assignment controls which supplier-article combination the areas are later available for in compliance, the map, and the DDS.
2

Upload the file

Upload the file. Polygon One accepts GeoJSON, CSV, and Excel and first processes the upload into a prepared preview rather than directly into the production inventory.
3

Review detected columns and mapping

The system largely detects the file format and columns automatically. If necessary, you adjust the mapping, for example for:
  • Area name
  • Country
  • Producer
  • Production start and production end
  • Area size for point geometries
  • Coordinate order or geometry column
4

Read the review panel and make decisions

After staging, you see a review interface with:
  • Country plausibility check for coordinates outside the expected production country
  • Precision histogram for the coordinates
  • Normalization warnings, such as automatically corrected coordinate order or removed polygon holes
  • Issue register with error rows and precision rows
  • Search, tabs, and export for the issue list
5

Confirm the import

Before the final import, you see a summary of how many areas:
  • are imported cleanly and directly
  • are imported with confirmed low precision
  • are deliberately skipped

​
Row-Level Decisions

For flagged rows, the following decisions are available depending on the data situation:
Low precision does not automatically mean incorrect geodata. The preview deliberately distinguishes between technical plausibility and format/precision questions.

​
Bulk Actions and Issue List

For larger files, the workflow offers additional bulk actions:
  • Confirm & pad all flagged
  • Skip imprecise areas under 2 ha
  • Reset decisions
  • Export issue list
The export is especially helpful when you want to clean up problematic rows with your supplier or data provider outside the platform.

​
After the Import

After a successful import, you manage the areas in two places:

Plots

Table view with filters, precision check, bulk actions, and exports.

Map

Geographic control, detailed review, and risk assessment on the map.
If a file contains many problematic rows, first export the issue list, clean up the source outside of Polygon One, and re-upload the corrected batch. This is usually faster than a fully manual row-by-row reconciliation.
