Adding a custom field in Location Insights

Users can drill down on specific widgets to view distribution by other meta-location information which the user enters. Custom fields vary from customer to customer as different customers have different use cases. For example, a brand wants to see where their outlets are present, so a custom field can be added that maps every business location added to the platform where it is located, airport, mall, streets, etc.

Click the New Tab icon. Under Platform Modules, click All Settings within Listen.
On the Platform Settings window, search for Custom Fields and select it.
On the Custom Fields window, click the Create Custom Field button in the top right corner.
On the New Custom Field creation form, fill in the necessary fields. For more information, see New Custom Field – Fields & Description.
Note: The asset will be "Business Location" for creating location-based custom fields.
Under Set Values, click Manual and enter the values you want to display in your custom field. To add more value click Click here or press "Enter" to add new value and add more values.
Under Visibility Control, select Visible in all workspaces or Select Users / User Groups if restricting the custom fields to some users only.
