After completing the action |
Keep Points of Interest If this option is not selected, the POIs are not deleted after conversion and share the polygonal object with the target object. Editing the polygon directly then has an impact on both objects. In the case of locations, the option reads: Each generated location refers to the associated point of interest If the option is selected, a reference to the POI is created at the locations from which they are generated in order to subsequently transfer further attributes of the POI to the location, for example, user-defined attributes. The references can be found in the Demand > Locations list. Deleting Points of Interest If the option is selected, the POIs are deleted after conversion. |
