WFS
The Web Feature Service (WFS) allows vector data to be served using the OGC WFS Web Feature Service. Adding an OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) adds actual features to the map, not just an image of the feature like a WMS.
To create a WFS layer, select Configuration > Layers > Add Overlay.
Select WFS from the drop-down menu and enter a descriptive name. Click Save.
