The POIs' Form allows you to view and edit attributes of the points of interest stored in the system, but also to create and add new points of interest to the system.
In general, a point of interest, or POI, is a specific point location that someone may find useful or interesting. Working with POIs on the IQTaxi Call Center framework, you can indicate and store the location of a specific place, building or service that your customers usually visit or can be mentioned as point of reference. These points could be public buildings and places such as hospitals, airports, squares and etc., or other places such as restaurants, hotels, gas stations, theaters, mails and many others.
The POIs Form consist of three separate items that interact with each other, displaying the corresponding information. These are the POIs Information Panel, the POIs information table and the Map Frame, which are described extensively below.
In the Information Panel are placed all the appropriate tools and input fields that needed to create, edit and search your points of interest. Working on this panel you can add new POIs, edit the information of the existing POIs and apply search filters for advanced searching based on criteria.
