Working with places

"Places" are business-specific points of interest like shops, delivery points, warehouses, etc - which are visited by user's employees. Place entities can be extended with custom fields to make them even more useful.

In case an event happened at the place, in various reports name of the place will be specified after the address.

If there's an employee assigned to a Mobile Tracker App (Android / iOS), and a place has a custom field of type "responsible employee", such place will be available in the mobile app to view. Thus, field employee can view all places assigned to him to visit them, etc.
