Once all data have been uploaded from MobileMap, Stand boundaries can be edited using standard feature editing tools InventoryManager: Feature Editing in InventoryManager. The main tools used are splitting with a line, or cutting a donut hole.
Cutting/Splitting Stands
See Cut a Shape for additional documentation on this process
In the example below, a cruised Stand was found in the field to have two distinct management histories and thus there is a need to split the stand. The user wishes to split the Stand along the road the separates the Northwest portion of the Stand from the rest of the Stand.
To complete this process, they first (1) enable draw edits on the Stands layer by clicking the pencil icon on the map legend. (2) Next, they select the line tool on the map editing tools that appear on the upper left portion of the map. (3) Next, they begin digitizing a split line by starting just outside of the stand, and (4) click to add vertices at every bend in the road. They Next, add the final vertex just outside of the opposite Stand boundary, (5) then double click to complete the line.

When the Submit button is pressed, InventoryManager will split the Stand into two Stands, then highlight the newly created Stand (8). This new Stand will have a unique ObjectIDvalues for the OBJECTID and Unique_ID fields, and the correct Acres. All other attributes will be identical to the original Stand, including the Stand_ID. To address this issue edit the attributes for the new Stand and update the Stand_ID. To do this, first click on the Edit Attributes (paper and pencil icon) button (9). Next, enter a new Stand_ID value (10). Optionally, update additional attribute values. Finally, click the Save (disk icon) button to save the updates (11).
...
At this point, you have completed the second step in the process ‘Update Stand boundaries’. If additional changes are needed, repeat this step to further divide any of the resulting Stands into additional Stands. When all stands have been split, toggle map drawing edits off by clicking the pencil icon next to Stands in the map legend. The icon should turn grey to indicate that editing is disabled.
Validate Plots
The final step of the process is to re-assign plots from the original Stand to this newly created Stand. This process is known as plot validation. For each newly created stand, click on the stand to select it (it should be highlighted in yellow), then click the ‘Validate’ tab (12) in the upper left corner of InventoryManager, then click ‘Validate Plots’ (13). InventoryManager will update all Plots within the selected Stand’s boundary to update their Stand_ID and Parent_ID fields. This will let InventoryManager (and MobileMap) know that these Plots are associated with this newly created Stand. The results will be displayed below the Validate Plots button and will indicate the number of Plots that were found that needed to be updated, and the details on the changes made.
...
If a large number of plots need to be removed, it is possible to use the Polygon or Rectangle tool to select multiple Plots and perform a batch delete operation.
