•open the table in Table Editor and the Indexes tab there;
•press the Insert key or select the Add New Index... item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar)

or

•select the table in the explorer tree and use the Create New Index popup menu item

•select the table Indexes node or any index within the table in the explorer tree and use the Add New Index... popup menu item.
