[ka-Map-users] dynamic layer

[Pēteris Brūns]

Hi Luca!

"..but I need to modify the attribute 'risk' in my shapefile (for 
instance modifing the dbf file) every 20 minutes..."

I'm not sure I have understand your problem correctly but...
Ka-map is only publishing and representing your information and not 
updating or editing your data. To update your dbf file or database you 
need to use your application or some other solution to set "risk" value 
for objects. Use PostGis or shapefile  - it depends form your data 
amount and system. Use postgis or shapefile to set/change risk valus -  
there is no big difference to use database or update shapefile dbf.
