[GIS] Mapping a feature from the attribute table in QGIS

attribute-tablefeaturesqgis

I currently finished adding all the needed attributes for my research. I would like to map these attributes. Is there any way to do so? The original method I was taught was to select: on the map and then add the attributes individually.

However, I added the attributes first by mistake. As in when I was editing the attributes table, I simply selected the "add feature" option. So when I select a row and click "zoom to row on map" it says "geometry is NULL". So is there a way for me to choose a row (each row is a location of a city) and map that row on the map?

You can add a geometry to an existing feature which has no geometry:

  1. Put the layer in edit mode
  2. Select the feature from the attribute table
  3. Use that "add part" tool from the "Advanced Digitizing Toolbar": enter image description here
  4. Draw the geometry you want to attach to the feature
