A library is a collection of POIs. You can have up to 150,000 POIs in a library, and there can be up to 100 libraries per Experience Cloud organization.

There are various ways to organize your POIs into libraries depending what is most useful to your organization. Some customers might prefer to create a separate library for each mobile app, while other customers might use libraries to group specific types of POIs such as coffee shops, parks, hotels, and so on. For example, a major entertainment company might have a library that comprises their outdoor venues in one library and their retail stores in another library. A city government might have a library that comprises all of the buildings in the city and another library that comprises all of the parks in the city.

Libraries are defined by the following:

Keys: Description:
ID a unique identifier assigned to the library at creation
Name a friendly name given to a library
Rank These rankings can be ignored if there are no overlapping geofences in your organization. If there are overlapping POIs, we recommend that you put each of the geofences in separate libraries, so they can be weighted relative to each other. A user can only be in one geofence at a time.

The highest ranking of the geofences a user is in determines his or her current geofence membership. If there are geofences that have the same library ranking, the smallest geofence is the user’s current geofence.

The SDK is also aware of Last entered and Last exited POIs, so you have complete control of how you want your rules to fire based on user interaction with your POIs.
