Adding Attribute data to shapefile?


I can display a shapefile in openlayers but I need to add some attribute data.


I can open the dbf file in excel but there is no save as option in excel to the updated file as a dbf.


What is the best way (or software to use) to add attribute data to my shapefile?



Answer




Using QGIS you can edit your shapefile adding new columns and values. Just open the shapefile, go to Properties>Attributes and add new columns.


In newer versions of QGIS (2.x), 'Attributes' is called 'Fields'
