Associating Attributes with an Output Layer

The attributes association allows aggregating information from other layers to the new polygons created through the classification process.

For this to be possible, it is required that an intersection rule is defined with the layer that contains the desired information. This rule must be associated to the Output layer that will receive the polygons with such information.

Click on the PROJECT MANAGEMENT → ATTRIBUTES.

Select a project and the output layer.

Click on Associate Attributes tab. A list of attributes will be shown. The user can now choose the input layer and correspondent attribute to be associate with the output layer attribute.


The Attributes tab shows the columns of the Output layer and the data type that they contain.

If the Output layer does not have a column to receive the data, create a new column by clicking on the Create Attribute tab.


Data Type: select the type related with the value.

Property name: enter the name of the attribute.

Default Value: enter a value to be considered as default to this attribute.

Is Auto Number: check this box if the attribute is to be numbered automatically.

Is Required: check this box it it is to be mandatory.

String Type: select one of the available types.

Size: enter the maximum size of the attribute.

To remove the association, select the column and click on the Clear button.

Note: The association made in this interface is valid only for the classification with the classes assigned to the selected Output layer in the Output Layer List.
