GIS Gazetteer

CMSi comes with a UK gazetteer of place names but if you have your own gazetteer, the data could be used in CMSi. Please discuss this with exeGesIS as the data needs to be in a certain format. If the gazetteer is in a standard database format with a place name, X and Y coordinates, it should be possible to import into CMSi .

CMSi Look and Feel (styles, colours)
As discussed in the CMSi User Manual, the CMSi look and feels (font type and size, tree icon colours, form background colours etc) are controlled by a Style file that you can choose in the Tools – Application Style dropdown.

CMSi ships with some different style options offering different font sizes and tree icon design. If you want to create some new styles covering these issues, contact cmsi@idoxgroup.com.
