The **Geometry Type** field provides several options, such as **MultiPolygon**, **MultiLineString**, and **Point**. The appropriate geometry type depends on the type of spatial features represented by the layer.

In the example below, the **Buildings** layer uses the **MultiPolygon** geometry type.
