Note: To be able to edit existing features in terms of changing the geometry or attributes you need to configure edit tools and layers in the WebOffice 10.2 SP3 project. For detailed information see chapters Create edit layer or Change edit layer.

After the selection of the desired feature to be edited, new buttons on the lower taskbar appear with one of them being the edit feature tool.

After activating the tool you got the chance to edit or to delete the object.

Edit feature

By activating the tool a new dialog appears giving the choice either to delete the feature completely or to edit it. When selecting the edit feature operation the same new toolbar in the center of the map appears like with the creation of a new feature. Move the hair cross to the desired new position and place the feature to be edited by pressing the "plus" button and apply with "OK". In the following dialog (Tablets and pads above the lower segment of the toolbar / smartphones in a new tab) attributes may be edited. Finish the editing operation by pressing the "Save" button.

Note: Geometry editing in the WebOffice mobile client is only supported for point feature classes (no MultiPoint Features).

Editing a selected feature

In order to change the geometry of an existing feature, there are two options to reach the target area depending on the distance between the old and the new position of the feature:

•	The new position is not far from the original location: In most of the cases the location of the object to be edited is not far from the original position. Therefore, it is easy to navigate to the new position using the standard navigate operations pan and zoom.

•	The new position is very far from the original location: In some cases the new location is too far away to reach it only by panning and zooming. However, it is possible to jump to a location far away from the original one by considering the following steps:

1.	Go to the target area of the feature to be edited (e.g. using an address query).

2.	Then go to the original position of the feature to be edited (e.g. using an address query).

3.	If not directly selected through searching, select the desired feature and activate the edit feature tool.

4.	Use the "Previous extent" button to jump back to the target area.

5.	Place feature on the new position and save changes.

Note: In order to edit features within the mobile client, a defined edit action "Edit" is required in the project configuration. Detailed information in chapter List of available edit actions.

In order to edit attributes open the list of edit fields where different kinds of attribute types are shown depending on the project configuration. The image below shows two fields with a value list, one of the type text input and a configured file upload. The latter can be performed after the editing process or, if nothing is to be edited, by pressing the button "Upload Files Only". A new form offers the possibility to upload a file.

Note: For detailed information regarding the configuration of file uploads, please see chapter File Upload Properties.

Note: If using the WebOffice mobile client with an iOS device, the file upload will only be available from version iOS 6 on. In earlier iOS versions a file upload was not supported due to restrictions in the operating system.

Delete feature

Deleting an existing feature is also accomplished by using the edit feature tool. Select the feature to be deleted, activate the edit feature tool and choose "Delete feature", apply with "Delete". With the mobile client you can only delete single features.
