[OSGeo Africa] FOSS4G 2018: The Geospatial Event of the Year !

[Tim Sutton]

Hi John

From within QGIS, assuming you have since saved your data in a GIS format e..g ESRI shape file, it is easy to add a new field. Open the attribute for the layer, click on the field calculator icon and use the options provided there to construct the new field. To update existing attribute data, you can also use the field calculator. Be sure to save your edits using the save or pencil icons when you are done.

Regards

Tim
