When using the WFS endpoint from the Tygron Platform, the used URL can be modified to add additional data or filters to the data. When accessing the WFS endpoint for constructions, the attributes of constructions will only include the function values which are assigned to the construction itself, not any values inherited from the construction's function without its own override of that value. The url can be given an additional parameter to include all function values, including those only inherited from the construction's function.

How to allow changes in WFS data to overwrite data:
  1. Find the geographical data you wish to export and select its export option.
  2. In the export window, select the "Overwrite existing" option of the Web Feature Service.
  3. Select the "Copy URL" option of the Web Feature Service.
  4. The desired url is not copied on your clipboard, and can be pasted in your desired GIS application.

Notes

  • The fact that by default not all function values are included in the data is due to the amount of resulting data which would otherwise need to be sent over. In fact, some external applications run the risk of crashing due to the large amount of memory required.
