<p dir="ltr">I have created .shp files for them to use but when they go to the folder to add the .shp, all the supporting files are also present, so we are struggling. Is there a way to set the settings so that only the .shp appears as an option to them?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you in advance for your help and I apologize if this is a silly question </p>
