WFS Settings

Select Services > WFS > Settings in Spectrum Spatial™ Manager to view and edit the global settings for your Web Feature Service and its capabilities. These settings describe your service. This service metadata is returned as part of the response to a GetCapabilities call. See Web Feature Service (WFS) in the Services section of the Spectrum Spatial Guide for more information.

Note: The WFS configuration file WFSConfiguration is pre-configured and located in the Configuration directory under the root repository. For example, a default installation will place the WFS configuration file at http://<server>:<port>/RepositoryService/repository/default/Configuration/WFSConfiguration. Although you can use a WebDAV tool such as WebFolders to copy the WFS configuration file from the repository then upload the modified file, manual editing of this file should only be done by advanced users who require functionality that is not supported by the current version of Spectrum Spatial™ Manager. Unexpected results may occur when using a manually edited configuration file with Spectrum Spatial™ Manager.
