Create POI

To create a POI you can right click on the location you want to create the POI and selecting Create POI. On a touchscreen device, tap and hold on the location to create a POI.

Edit POI

To add information about the POI, let's go trough all of the fields.

Fields with * are required.

In this example let's create a POI for this fire hose:

We add a name for it, in this case Fire hose D11. Select the category for the POI, in this case we use Fire hose. To create new categories, see POI Categories.

Let's leave the view configuration to Use current view. We want the POI to be visible for all users, so let's change the view to Viewer.

Let's add something to the description. You can add text, media etc. to here. This time we will add a text Next inspection 6/2026. When you are ready click Save.
