Import Layers with different Projections

iShare requires it's maps to be in British National Grid but you may have files created with a different co-ordinate system such as Lat/Long. If you are unsure of the projection of your file then please see Find the Projection of a Shape file for details.
Using a Workflow Spatial Data Transformation in Studio it is possible to convert your Layer to British National Grid (EPSG:27700).
- Open Studio.
- Expand the Workflow node
- Expand the Jobs node and right click on Unassigned Tasks node and select New Task.
- Pick Spatial Data Transformation from the list and click OK.
- Enter a unique Name for your Task.
- Select your Source Data and Output. In our example screenshot below our input is a Shape file and we are outputting to the Data Share database.
- Under the Options UNTICK Projection as British National Grid
- Tick Expert mode
- Now in the Additional Parameters box add the following:
-s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:27700
where EPSG:4326 is Lat/Long and EPSG:27700 is British National Grid.
You can either just click the Play button 
 to convert your data or click Save and either run manually or add this to a Workflow Job.
You should see a successful message when you run the task e.g.
