Territories

Working with the Territory Data in a Geographic Information System (GIS)

The TheocBase SQLite database can be opened in a GIS software that allows users to analyze or combine the data with other sources e.g. create high quality maps for the Kingdom Hall. In the following instructions QGIS is used, a multi-platform GIS available for free, but other programs may be used similarly.

Add Territory Layers to a QGIS Project

Open or create a new project in QGIS.

Select the menu item <strong>Layer>Add Layer>Add Vector Layer...</strong>

Choose <strong>File</strong> as <strong>Vector Source Type</strong>.

Click on the <strong>Browse</strong> button and select the "theocbase.sqlite" file.

Click on the <strong>Add</strong> button.

<span>Select the layers you want to use in QGIS:</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territory<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for editing boundaries</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territories<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for viewing and analyzing the territories</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territory_address<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for editing addresses</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territoryaddresses<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for viewing and analyzing the addresses</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territory_street<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for editing streets</span> 
<br><span><strong><!-- Table name: -->territorystreets<!-- Don't translate this. --></strong>: for viewing and analyzing the streets</span> 

Caution:

When editing the geometry in a third party tool like QGIS, TheocBase will not be aware of the changes during cloud syncing. In order to upload the changes you need to mark the territories as edited e.g. add a blank in the remark field. Alternatively you can also export the territories into a KML file and reimport this file in TheocBase.

Add the layers by clicking on the <strong>OK</strong> button.
