You can edit data in map layers. You must have the relevant permissions for the different types of editing:

  • Create a new element

  • Modify the geometry of an element

  • Modify the values of the attributes of one or more elements

  • Delete one or more elements

Creating an element

To create a new element:

  1. Click on Img in the map interface. The Select type of feature to create panel is displayed along with the Img icon in the sidebar. The panel displays all the layers for which you have the right to create an element.

  2. Click on the layer of your choice to select it and click Next. The Create geometry panel is displayed.

  3. Create the geometry of the element. The following table details the procedure for creating each type of geometry.

   
Point 1. Click where you want to draw a point.
2. To modify the location of the point, click on it, the point turns yellow, and move it to the desired position.
Line 1. Click where you want to draw the first point of the line.
2. Click to draw the vertices of the line.
3. Double-click to end the line.
4. To modify the line, click on a vertex, which turns yellow, and drag it to the desired location.
5. Repeat until you get the desired geometry.
Polygon 1. Click where you want to draw the first vertex of the polygon.
2. Click to draw the vertices of the polygon.
3. Double click to draw the last vertex and finish the polygon.
4. To modify the polygon, click on a vertex, which turns yellow, and drag it to the desired location.
5. Repeat until you get the desired geometry.

  1. Click Next to open the form in which to enter the attributes of the element.

  2. Enter the values for each of the form fields. You can upload photos, if the form allows it. To delete a photo, click on the x that appears on the photo when the pointer passes.

  2. Click on Img to edit the item. A window is displayed indicating the modifications available according to your permissions: Change geometry, Edit info or Delete.

  3. Select the type of editing you want to perform.

Modifying an element’s geometry

  1. Click on Change Geometry to display the panel Update geometry. The geometry of the element is colored yellow.

  2. Click on the element to select it. Lines and polygons display vertices.

  3. If you want to change its position, drag the element and drop it to the desired location.

  4. If you want to change its shape, click on a vertex to select it and drag it. New vertices are created between 2 existing vertices to allow you to modify the shape of the geometry.

  5. Click on Save to save the changes.

Modifying the value of an element’s attributes

  1. Click on Edit info to edit the attribute value of the element. The form is displayed.

To batch modify the set of elements:

  1. Click on img in the Selection panel. A window is displayed indicating the modifications available according to your permissions: Edit info or Delete. You cannot modify the geometries of a set of elements. The window also displays the number of elements selected and the layer concerned.

Modifying the value of attributes

  1. Click on Edit info to modify the value of the attributes. The form is displayed.
