Be ready for the cold weather with a smooth coordinate search, filters in the value relation widget, fancy new QML and HTML widgets, enhanced geometry editing functionalities and an expandable legend. Right when Autumn starts, QField 1.7 Rockies hits the stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual get it now on the play store<\/a> or on github<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The days are getting shorter and the wind blows colder. It’s always good to be in a good company outside while getting your mapping work done. QField will be your reliable companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know, QField 1.6 Qinling has only been out two months and with its amount of new features and stability improvements, it would have deserved a longer primetime. But we just couldn’t withhold you all the new great stuff we’ve been building lately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s welcome QField 1.7 Rockies. And yes, we mean THE Rockies<\/a>, where QField is looking for plenty of new buddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s have a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merging features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Splitting of a feature has been possible for quite some time. Now the merging of features of multipolygon-layer is possible as well. Select them and merge them – easy like that. The first selected feature gets the new geometry and keeps its attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filters in the Value Relation Widget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The value relation widgets provide an easy selection of a related feature. Often it’s used for lookup tables but sometimes the related tables contain a lot of entries and the list of the possible values is long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using filters in the value relation drop-down can increase the efficiency in selecting the correct value. It can be configured by expressions in QGIS, so it’s possible to have the content of the drop down depend on the values entered previously in other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the screenshot above there is a Map Value Widget with “forest” and “meadow” as values. On selecting “forest”, only the trees appear in the Field “Plant Species”. On selecting “meadow” there would be listed flowers instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to coordinates in the Search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The search has not only been improved in its appearance, but it’s handling is much more comfortable with a button to clear the text and easy opening and closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we added the possibility to jump to coordinates. Searching a place you know the coordinates of is now super simple. And this means that digitizing that precise geometry with known coordinates is finally possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QML and HTML Widget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might remember when we introduced the QML widget in QGIS<\/a>. Now it’s in QField as well. And it’s not alone. HTML widgets are supported too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This provides a lot of possibilities to display information with texts, images and charts and it even allows you interaction.
