Map styling

All style settings from QGIS are directly supported by QField. This includes all renderer types like graduated, categorized, rule based, 2.5D as well as data defined symbology.

Expression d'affichage

Préparation Desktop

In QField, objects are identified with a name. The expression to generate this name can be defined by opening the attribute table in QGIS and switching to the form view. Choose the appropriate field or an expression in the list there. Starting from QGIS 3, this can be done directly from the Vector Layer Properties > Display page.

L'expression d'affichage est aussi utilisée pour rechercher dans les couches.

The display expression will be used to represent features with an identification string throughout QField.

Couches en lecture seule, non identifiables et interrogeables

Préparation Desktop

Some layers in a project are just there for pure visual purpose. Such layers should not show up when a user taps somewhere to identify objects.

Some other layers serve as source of information and shouldn't be modified by the user. It is possible to protect layers from editing attributes or adding and deleting features.

Il est aussi possible de configurer quelles couches sont recherchées.

To configure identify, readonly and searchable behavior, go to the Project > Properties > Data Sources page and activate the checkboxes to match your desired behavior.

Configuration of layers that will not be identifiable, not modifiable and/or not searchable.

Using additional fonts

Préparation Desktop

In QField, you are able to use all the fonts you want.

There are two different possibilities to register additional fonts:

1. By adding fonts (.ttf or .otf) on the device in the folder <drive>:/Android/data/ch.opengis.qfield/files/QField/fonts those will be made accessible to all projects and individual datasets.
2. By adding fonts (.ttf or .otf) in the same folder as a given project file (.qgs or .qgz); those will be accessible only when viewing that project file.

Note

Since QField 2 the font files needs to be stored in the app directory <drive>:/Android/data/ch.opengis.qfield/files/QField/fonts instead of the devices main directory <drive>:/QField/fonts.

Symboles SVG personnalisés
