Attribute Management in the System

21 0 0 2 March 2026

Attribute management is the set of processes related to

1. adding new attributes to the data (or removing them),
2. adding dictionaries to attributes,
3. procedures related to editing attributes (including bulk editing)

in order to achieve the intended goals.

Example of use

Problem to solve: collecting information on whether an electric installation for an advertising device is present on a pole. Instead of adding a new layer, you can simply, in the existing Poles layer:

1. add a new attribute, e.g., Advertising Installation
2. add a dictionary with the values [YES, NO, No data]
3. Fill in the attribute values by editing.

Based on such prepared data, you can create a “filtered” layer containing only the objects whose attribute value is YES. This way, you get a layer of poles that have an installation. This layer updates automatically—whenever someone changes the attribute in the main layer, the filtered layer updates as well.
