 | Ensure the [[Project]] as a [[Project Source]] for the WFS to obtain the data from.
 | Open the [[Geo Data Wizard]].

 | Opt to import data from a WFS source.
 | Select the WFS [[Project Source]] from which data needs to be imported.
 | Select the appropriate layer of the data source from which data needs to be imported.
 | Depending on the [[Project Source]] type, additional parameters may be added to further define which data to import.
 | If applicable, opt to filter features based on a specific [[Attribute]] in the data.
 | Opt whether to add the data as new [[Item]]s to the [[Project]], or to update the [[Attribute]]s of existing [[Item]]s.
 | If applicable, select how to name the new [[Item]]s.
