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

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

How to edit project data via WFS:
  1. Connect the GIS application to your project by adding the WFS connection to the external GIS application.
  2. Modify the features of the WFS layer. You can modify the vertices of geometries, and the attributes of features.
  3. Ensure the end result is valid. (For example: neighborhoods cannot overlap, and constructions cannot overlap.)
  4. Save the modified layer in the GIS application.
  5. The data will now be updated in the Tygron Platform.

Notes

  • 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.
