Types and Attributes

Each POI has a type that identifies it. For example, a POI could be of type Bank or ATM. In turn, each type contains attributes, which represent the necessary information about that type of POI. For example, a POI of type Bank requires different attributes, such as a logo and banking hours.

To access the Types and Attributes page, click POI > Types and Attributes from the menu in the left side navigation bar. The Types and Attributes page opens, where you can view the types of POI created for your product and their attributes as well as create and edit them. Refer to the annotated image below to learn more.

Important

Attributes can be mandatory, which means they will be marked as required when completing POI's attributes. Read the Mandatory Attributes section below to learn more.
