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, which can be customized using expressions.

Couches en lecture seule, non identifiables et interrogeables

Préparation Ordinateur

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.

1. Direct to Project > Properties... > Data Sources and activate the checkboxes to match your desired behaviour.

Configuration of layers that will not be identifiable, nor modifiable, nor searchable.

Using additional fonts

Préparation Ordinateur

QField enables you to use all the custom fonts you might want and need. There are two different possibilities to register additional fonts:

Addition of fonts through the local directory

1. Copy your font file (.ttf or .otf) in the directory [App Directory]/QField/fonts. Those will be made accessible to all projects and individual datasets.

Addition of fonts in subfolder of QGIS file

1. Create a subfolder called fonts inside the same folder where your given project file (.qgs or .qgz) is stored. Those fonts will only be accessible when viewing that project.

When building a QFieldCloud project that includes additional fonts in a fonts subfolder, you must add this directory to the synchronized folders list in your project settings. This ensures the custom font files are successfully pushed to QFieldCloud and transferred onto mobile devices.

Flux

1. Navigate to Project > Properties... > QField.
2. Under the Attachments and Directories configuration tab, add the path to your relative fonts subfolder to the directories list as "Data" type.
