When uploading a .TAB file, ensure you have selected all associated files along with the .TAB file. The associated files are .MAP, .ID, .DAT, and .IND (optional).

Examine your data before uploading:

  • Make sure you have a valid file and valid column information in your file.
  • You select only one .TAB file along with the required associated files, not multiple .TAB files.

To upload a .TAB file:

  1. Click or touch the Add icon on the upper right corner of the map to open the Add panel.
  2. Click or touch the Add layer icon.
  3. Choose Upload Files to Spectrum Spatial (.TAB, .shp, .csv, .xls)
    The Upload files panel opens. This panel will guide you through the upload process. Follow the instructions given under Checklist before Upload to avoid any error.
  4. Click or touch the Choose file ... to browse your computer and select your .TAB files.
    The required associated files must be selected along with the base file (.TAB) to avoid error.

    After you select your files, Spectrum Spatial Analyst verifies the selected files and shows a summary of selected files. In case of any validation error, you can click Choose files again to select the correct files. You can click Other file extensions to see the details of the selected files.

    If you select incorrect files, for example two .TAB files, Spectrum Spatial Analyst displays Incorrect File Selection error. You may click View Checklist to see the details.

    If you select correct files, Spectrum Spatial Analyst displays the name of the file you have selected.
