A stored query file is an XML file that maintains a list of publisher-authored stored queries relevant to a particular service. Place the stored query file in a folder accessible to the web. Then, specify the location of the file in ArcGIS Server Manager or ArcGIS Pro. For full instructions, see Configuring a WFS service to use stored queries.

The Enable Transactions check box is used to allow edits to be applied through WFS-T. See Web editing with WFS services for more information.

Enable Maximum Number Of Features

This property allows you to limit how many features can be returned by the server to a WFS client for any given query operation. When this option is unchecked, all features are returned.

Swap Axis Order For WFS

Features returned in some geographic coordinate systems (for example, WGS 84) have an axis order of latitude, longitude (y,x) by default. This is in compliance with the WFS 1.0.0, 1.1.0, and 2.0.0 specifications.

Some WFS clients expect the coordinates to be returned with an axis order of x,y. To work with these clients, you can swap the axis order for the WFS service by choosing the Swap option in the drop-down menu. By default, the axis order will not be swapped.
