A GeoNames feature must be associated with a compliant feature, which happens once the unique feature identifier (UFI) is copied into the named feature identifier field for a selected feature. To do this, select one GeoNames feature and at least one compliant feature to associate with it and use the GeoName to Features tool to populate the named feature identifier field with the UFI value from the GeoNames feature. The named feature number field is populated with a null value.
