Identify features

Tap on a feature on the map to identify it. If several features are located where you tapped (either because there are multiple features really close one to another, or because several layers are overlapping), they will all be listed in the menu that opens on the right of the screen.

identify_features

Tap on one of the listed feature to access its attributes.

  1. Tap the arrows to scroll through all the identified features.
  2. Tap the centre button to center the map on the selected feature.
  3. Tap the edit button to edit the attributes of the selected feature.
  4. Scroll through the sub-menus to access all the attributes.

Exceptions to identified layers

Often it is not required to be able to query every layer. Some layers are only present as basemap and their attributes are not of interest.

You can manage this layerlist in QGIS desktop in Project ‣ Project Properties ‣ Identify Layers and uncheck the base layers.
