Create Feature

Create Feature widget

Serves to configure logic that allows to create records with the specific attributes in one table based on a record and its attributes from another table.

For instance - a business flow that allows the creation of a new feature in a specific territory. Feature in this example refers to a geographic entity or object represented in a map or dataset.

A common use case is to create a work group or work assessment based on a work territory.

The configured widget presents the user with a modal where the base feature table is displayed (table A); after selecting an entry in this feature table, the next modal opens, which contains an input form for entering data (attributes) to create a new record. As a result, a new feature is created with the particular attributes from the base table (table A) and with its attributes. This feature will be stored in another table (table B).
