Advanced iBOMB Functions

Enterprise Tier Only

Once you've loaded properties and data into iBOMB, there are a number of advanced tools available to help you manage projects, visualize data, and create more effective presentations.

This guide covers some of the most powerful features available within iBOMB.


Adding Data to Multiple Properties at Once

Instead of opening and editing each property individually, iBOMB allows you to add information across multiple properties from a single screen.

To Add Data in Bulk

  1. Click the + icon on the left side of the map.

  2. Enter a Field Name.

  3. Enter the corresponding value for each property.

  4. Click Add.

The Field Name becomes the column heading for the information you're adding.

Examples

Field Name

Example Value

Asking Price

$2,500,000

Owner Contacted

Yes

Follow-Up Date

June 15

Development Status

Under Review

This is an efficient way to track project information across large property groups.


Using Marker Groups to Color-Code Properties

Marker Groups allow you to visually organize properties based on specific data fields.

This is particularly useful for:

  • Land assemblies

  • Prospecting farms

  • Development projects

  • Client presentations

Create Marker Groups

  1. Click Marker Groups.

  2. Select a Grouping Column.

  3. Change color by clicking on the color.

  4. Use dots to assign Value to a color.

  5. Click Save Changes


Exporting Data Back to Excel or KML

Any information added or edited within iBOMB can be exported back into a spreadsheet.

To Export

  1. Click Export to CSV or KML.

  2. Confirm Project Name.

  3. Save the exported file.

All custom fields and edits will be included as additional columns in the spreadsheet.

The exported data can then be used for:

  • Prospecting databases

  • Project tracking

  • Client reports

  • Internal analysis


Uploading Spreadsheets into iBOMB

You can import property databases directly into iBOMB using CSV or Excel files.

Supported Formats

  • CSV (.csv)

  • Excel (.xlsx)

Importing a File

  1. Click Upload XLSX/CSV.

  2. Select your spreadsheet.

  3. Choose the column containing the property identifiers.

The spreadsheet must contain PIDs for iBOMB to accurately locate the properties.

Mapping PIDs

After uploading, select the PID column when prompted.

For Paragon exports, this field is often labeled: P.I.D.

Once mapped, iBOMB will automatically place the properties on the correct parcels.


Combining Multiple Parcels

If multiple properties have been assembled, iBOMB allows you to visually combine them into a single parcel representation.

To Combine Parcels

  1. Remove the unwanted parcel using the Delete (trash can) tool.

  2. Open Edit Layers.

  3. Merge the remaining parcel boundaries as desired.

This can be useful when presenting completed land assemblies or redevelopment opportunities.


Common Uses

Advanced iBOMB features are commonly used for:

  • Land assembly presentations

  • Development projects

  • Prospecting databases

  • Ownership tracking

  • Client presentations

  • Site acquisition planning

  • Market analysis


Quick Recap

With Advanced iBOMB Functions, you can:

  • Add custom data across multiple properties at once

  • Color-code properties using Marker Groups

  • Export project data back to Excel

  • Import spreadsheets containing PIDs

  • Combine parcels for assembly presentations

  • Build more powerful and informative property maps
