[Qgis-user] Feature Editing Tools

[Tyler Veinot]

Richard;
I was hoping to take advantabe of the offline editing functions in QGIS to
allow multi user editing. I have done some testing and discovered that the
function can allow multiple user edits in an sqlite database as long as
users do not edit the same feature. I am setting up "work areas" for each
person as long as they stay within their respected areas they should be
able to edit features without causing issues with other data changes.
What you are suggesting makes sense and I am wondering if this process will
work; Use QGIS to create an "offline editing mode" then switch to AutoCAD
to make the edits in the "offline.sqlite" database. After editing use QGIS
to post the data back to the online version of the database; this is
something I am going to have to test.
Most people will be editing a specific layer with only me and one other
tech editing all of them, some of those layers are simply related data
tables and not really layers containing any geometry.
Thanks for the input Richard it has given me something to think about.
