The WFS Connect dialog is used to establish a connection to a WFS Server. It can be opened directly from the Database Connection ribbon group.

• Connection Name - The name for the graphical source
• Description - An optional description
• URL - URL of the WFS server
• Namespace - A separate namespace if defined by the service
• User - WFS Server User name
• Password - WFS Server password
• Prefer Http post - Default method for WFS requests is HTTP Get. Use this checkbox to enforce usage of Http Post. This may help to resolve issues during import
• Flip Coordinates - WFS 1.0.0 servers specify the axis order for geographic coordinates as longitude/latitude (X/Y). WFS 1.1.0 and 2.0.0 servers specify the axis order as latitude/longitude (Y/X). This may result in queried features being rotated or flipped. To avoid this, enable Flip Coordinates.

When defining a graphical source as a WFS connection in OpenCities Geospatial Administrator, the Build Connection dialog provides additional options.

• User - WFS Server User name
• Password - WFS Server password
• URL - URL of the WFS server
• Namespace - A separate namespace if defined by the service
• Prefer Http post - Default method for WFS requests is HTTP Get. Use this checkbox to enforce usage of Http Post. This may help to resolve issues during import
