Point of Interest (POI)
Points of Interest (POI) are points defined in the 3D coordinate system of a Site that have additional information attached to them.
All POIs have a type, type group, and position. You can also set their name, description, icon, importance, and more. The POI names and descriptions can be set for one or more languages. The content of a POI description can be anything from plain text to embedded iframes. Adding custom data to POIs is useful for interfacing with applications built on top of NavVis IVION.
POI Types and Type Groups

Each POI is part of one POI type.
Each POI type is part of one POI type group.
A new site comes with default POI types, such as "Stairs" or "Parking", and POI type groups, such as "Access" or "Transport". Someone with site administrator privileges can add, delete, or edit types to fit your use case.
In a site, the POI Types menu lists all POI types and type groups in the site. From this menu, you can edit POI types and type groups, and filter which POI types to display.
