# Feature of Interest

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

The Feature of Interest item is used to share important locations. This focusses on the map field, and allows a feature to be identified on the map and named. A map layer for features of interest can be enabled on any map, plus a counter allows for listing all features of interest.

To configure an Feature of Interest item, you must add or edit an Information item via the Information register and select the *Feature of Interest* [Type](#type).&#x20;

## Settings <a href="#settings" id="settings"></a>

Feature of Interest items must include a **Subject**. This is used to identify it in lists and to give other personnel a summary of what it is about.

Use the **Details,** a [rich text](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/concepts-and-fundamentals/on-a-computer/using-the-datagrid/editing-items#rich-text-fields) field, to convey the information in further detail.

To upload one or more files, **use the Attachments** [file upload](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/concepts-and-fundamentals/on-a-computer/using-the-datagrid/editing-items#attaching-files) field.

The [Location & Map](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/modules/operations/information/..#location-and-map) section is used to mark the feature on the map.

Make sure to Save your item once you've finished to effect your changes.
