Probably the easiest way to do this would be a join - so if you made
me do this I would do:<br>
<br>
1. Create a layer (say a shapefile) with a point and a unique ID. <br>
2. Make sure that Unique ID is reflected in your tabular data (point
1 has a corresponding '1' in the tabular data or a point of "Water
Park" has a "Water Park" in your table) <br>
3. Right click on your shapefile with the points (or polygons) and
go to properties -> Joins. Pick your two fields that are the same
- and join them. <br>
<br>
After a successful join right click and "save as" and make a new
shapefile/Spatialite layer with all of your attributes. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m after your suggestions for the best
work flow for adding spatial data to existing tabular data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Say we have a tabular list of playground
equipment – I want to associate a point object with each row
in the list – so I end up with spatial and attribute data in
the one table.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used to do this in MapInfo, you could
open a table of purely tabular data, select a row in the
attribute table, adding a point in the map window would create
a map object for the selected row (rather than adding a whole
new row to the table). I don’t think I can do it like that
with QGIS – am I right in thinking if there is no geometry for
a row it will be excluded from the attribute table?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do people do this in QGIS?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
