Editing in Layers

From Geoikia-english

Introduction

Geoide has the ability to edit layers (editing) in the Geoide Viewer. The user can add points, lines and/or polygons (areas) to the layer through the Geoide Viewer . The edit functionality is only possible on Geodie Service layers and only when the layers are marked to be editable in the Geoide Author.

'Editing' in the Geoide Viewer is adding and/or modifying geometries in combination with adding/modifying information about the object. This information appears in the 'Attribute Info' pop-up window in the Geoide Viewer.

For system managers: the WFS should be configured in such a way that insert, edit and delete actions 
are accepted for the involved Feature Type.
