{{#customtitle:Create a Project and add sample data|}}
This exercise is included in the tutorial: Getting Started with GeoAgro GIS |
GeoAgro GIS allows you to organize information into groups of layers called "projects".
When you start GeoAgro GIS, the Projects Panel will appear and you will be able to create a new project, subproject or open an existing one.
We will also add sample data to go through the examples of this Course: 'Getting Started With GeoAgro GIS'
Start GeoAgro GIS by double clicking on its icon at your desktop;
You may also run it by using the Windows® Start menu.
The system starts showing the Projects Panel
Click on Create, and enter a name for the project, for this example: Sample Farm MO. Check option "Retrieve startup data for your project"

Note: | Please make sure to Check on the option "Retrieve startup data for your project", when you want look for available datasets. |
For our exercise we will go into the Tutorials Folder, and select the file: Sample Farm MO.gis
After download is completed, it will show you the option to import the downloaded dataset into your project. Check on Restore, and then Click on Import
It will create default data layers and attributes for your farm project. These layers/attributes can be customized for your needs as well.
After the Import is complete, you will see the Map of the downloaded State or Region, in our case, the State of Missouri.
