You can add an index to a WFS table so that you can perform Finds and other useful operations on WFS layers.

To create an index for a WFS table:

  1. Open a WFS table from the HOME or TABLE tabs, on the Open list, by clicking Feature (WFS).
  2. From the Open WFS Table dialog box, select a layer you want for the new .TAB file and click OK to save it.
  3. On the TABLE tab, in the Maintenance group, click Table, and Modify Table Structure.
  4. From the Modify Table Structure dialog box select the Indexed check box beside the column you want to index and click OK. You should select a column you want to use to perform the Find or other operation you are interested in.

Indexes will be automatically rebuilt whenever you refresh a WFS table because the data may be different after the refresh process.
