gvSIG-Desktop 1.9. User manual
Open a “View” and add the layer you wish to work with.
Remember that to start an alphanumeric editing process in gvSIG, you must put the layer you are working with in editing mode. In order to do this, select the layer in the ToC, go to the “Layer” menu and select “Start edition”. Select the “See table of attributes” button
or go to the “Layer” menu and select “See table of attributes”.
The table associated with the layer will be automatically added to the project.
If you go to the “Project Manager” and select the “Tables” type of document, you can check that the table shown in the view is included as a separate document in the project.
To finish the table editing session, go to the “Layer” menu and select “Finish edition”. When the session finishes a message appears asking if you would like to save the changes. Click on “Yes” to save all the changes made in the table.
