What is Places
Use the Places module to create, manage, and view places. Places can be used as Points of Interest (POI) on the map. You can add additional place details such as contact information, place type, notes, and other details. Places can also be configured as a geographical area (circular or polygonal geofence) with latitude and longitude coordinates. An alarm can be configured when assets enter or leave these geographical areas at a specific time.

Why use Places
Purpose I: Manage Places
SCALAR allows you to create, manage, and view places. Use places as geofencing to create alarms in case of events that require immediate attention. Places are displayed on the map with latitude and longitude information. Various teams and users can be given access to the places according to their requirements.
Purpose II: Manage Alarms
SCALAR allows you to define alarms for specific places. An alarm can be generated in case an asset is entering and/or leaving an area. Alarms allow you to notify the correct people in case of an event and make sure necessary action is taken.
