QGIS – Attribute Table show Visible

by David Crowther

QGIS allows you to view both Map Features and Attributes for your GIS files - using the Attribute Table tool.

And in later versions of QGIS, you can choose how the Attribute Table works,.. my favourite is to change the state and only show the records that are in the current map widow – Open Attribute Table (Visible Features).

Now instead of showing all the records for the GIS Layer, the Attribute Table only lists those that are currently in the map window.

Which means as you zoom and pan, the Attribute Table updates accordingly!
