2. New ACIMS search reports (ACIMS Data Screening Reports)
3. Instructions explaining how to create an ACIMS Data Screening Report provided directly on the search map
4. Ability to export EO search results as a table or spatial file (geodatabase or shapefile)
5. Option for users to change basemaps and add additional layers

Users can also access ACIMS Non Sensitive and Sensitive EO data using the new Feature Services. These Feature Services allow users to access ACIMS EO data using Geographical Information System (GIS) software. Links to these Feature Services are provided on the ACIMS download page. These Feature Services have replaced the shapefile and kml downloads.
