POIs Form
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.
 POIs Map FrameThis frame displays a dynamic geographic map, extending usually over the service area of the car base that has been defined at the installation process. You can use the map to view the specific location of an existing POI or to point out the location of a new POI. The stored POIs are indicated on the map with the "point"
 icon. The map frame supports four different map providers (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Open Street) allowing you to select the one you prefer for data viewing. You can select the map provider or switch between the available, clicking on the "map type" icon
 on the upper left side of the frame. Each provider has available three different map types to select, Road map, Satellite map and Hybrid map.You can interact with the map and navigate to different map areas using your mouse with the following actions.

 POIs Information TableThe Information table is a search results table that displays the stored data of selected POIs. The table
updates it's records after a searching procedure and based on the applied filters. The table consist of
four columns that regards to the four data fields and many rows, one for each selected POI. The first
row in the table displays the Field name of each column.
 Data Sorting
The table's records are by default sorted based on the "Description" field values (system default).
If you want to make a shorting based on an other field's data, you have to click once on the column's
name you desire. The sorting is automatically changed and an arrow
 appears on the selected field, marking it active.
POI Selection from table
You can select a POI's record from the information table by double clicking on it. After selection,
the POIs information are stored on the information panel and the map navigates (zoom in) to
POIs location. You are able to edit the selected POI's information and save the changes to the system.
