How to extend locations with custom data
Elements
A location represents a record in the Nearest! database and consists in its absolute basic form of a coordinate. You are free to extend each location with custom data. To do this you can add elements to each location which are globally defined in your locator settings. You'll find the elements in the Nearest! Dashboard > Locator > Elements & Filter.

Data types
Each element represents one type of data, such as telephone, name, opening hours or other custom data. Before adding that data to the location you need to specify a data type for each element.
Filter
Some elements can be used to filter your locations or to represent custom icons on the map.
Grouping
Elements can be grouped together. Grouping can be used to add relevance between elements and show a specific header, a sub-header and a footer.
