# Places

**Places (or POIs)** in the **Field service** module can be used for organizing and managing key locations that your field staff need to visit, such as customer addresses, company sites, or other important points of interest. This helps streamline task assignments, optimize routes, and ensure efficient field operations.

The page contains the list of all available Places along with their details, including custom fields you've added.

#### (Optional) Add custom fields

Custom fields let you add extra details that aren't covered by the standard options. These fields are tailored to your business needs. They can include equipment type stored at the site, site maintenance schedule, security code, or manager contacts.

## How to use Places

Places are used as a map tool to help you track your objects in the **Tracking** module. To learn more about their use for monitoring the map, see [Places (POIs)](/docs/user/guide/tracking/map-tools/places-pois.md). The **Tracking** module also allows [importing them](/docs/user/guide/tracking/map-tools/places-pois.md#importing-places-from-an-excel-file).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/field-service/places-field-service.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
