When an external GIS application supports WFS transaction, it is possible to edit the data in a project in a GIS.

It is currently possible to edit geometries and attributes and add new features. It is not possible to remove features.

How to edit project data via WFS:
  1. Add the WFS connection to your GIS application.
  2. Edit the data and ensure the end result is valid. (For example: neighborhoods cannot overlap, and constructions cannot overlap.)
  3. Save your edits.
  4. The data will now be updated in the Tygron Platform.

Notes

  • Editing data does not work if your project is in a test run
  • When using a WFS endpoint which only displays partial data (such as the ROADS endpoint for constructions), any submitted modification must still be valid across all data. I.e., even if you can't see other constructions in your GIS application, the modified roads are not allowed to intersect with other constructions in the project in the Tygron Platform.
