Paste multiple coordinates at one time

[dfoll]

Background: Users have many ways that they receive coordinates. Some come in through chat messages or emails just to list two examples.

Requested enhancement: A user needs to be able to copy coordinates from the clipboard to the list. This list will then be added to the map the same what it happens when a user imports coordinates from a spreadsheet.

Steps to create workflow: Have a list of coordiantes in a text file, email or chat window Highlight that list and copy it to the clipboard with control C or right click copy Open the CC add in pane right click the list window pane and select paste click a paste/import button on the pane.

Requested Outcome: Coordinates in the clipboard can be copied to the list with a right click in the list window and a button next to the import button.

Work to be done:

• [x] Develop the feature
• [x] Document the workflow - bb/df
• [x] Update the checklist
• [x] Verify Doc
• [x] Verify the feature enhancement

@CTLocalGovTeam could you give a level of effort for this issue?

[CTLocalGovTeam]

@topowright Could you also add information about accepted inputs and validations if any required ?

Should we follow the same approach as CSV import with Coordinates mentioned in single column ?

Best result if possible:

To have the add-in read the format automatically so the user would not have to any other action other than pasting in the coordinate.

The system should be able to understand that there is a space, comma, or any of the other separators in the coordinate that are supported by the addin.

Next Best Solutions (least desired) Prompt the user for the type of coordiante and the format.
