Add and edit indexes

To manually create a new index from the Firebase console:

2. Go to the Indexes tab and click Add Index.
3. Enter the collection name and set the fields you want to order the index by.

Indexes can take a few minutes to build, depending on the size of the query. After you create them, you can see your indexes and their status in the Composite Indexes section. If they're still building, the Firebase console includes a building status bar.
