3.6.2. Rules for adding attributes to locations (organizations)

The “Business in Yandex Business Directory” attribute is there to connect the organization on the map to its listing in the Business Directory.

When you fill in this field, a list of organizations opens (that are of the same type as the new item: if we add a “Shopping, book store, stationery” item, then the list will only suggest book stores). The suggestions are located within a radius of approximately 400 meters from the placemark you drew and are already registered in the Yandex Business Directory.

If the organization you need is in the list, select it to pull its information from the Yandex Business Directory.

If the organization you are looking for is not in the list (which means it's not registered in the Yandex Business Directory), you can either leave that field blank or go to the Yandex Business Directory and add the organization to it.

3.6.2.2.1.1. Category

The “Category” attribute lets you provide a more detailed description of what business an organization is involved in. This connects the organization's line of business with the category in Yandex Business Directory.

To enter a category, click on the Category field and select the appropriate value from the drop-down list.

You must indicate the organization's category.

If the organization's line of business fits into several categories, select the one that matches their main business. For instance, if a clothing store also sells some shoes on the side, their main category should still be “clothing store”.

If you can't determine what an organization's main line of business is, try getting as close as possible and entering one of two suitable categories. For example: Adidas Originals clothing and shoe store, category“5.19.12. Clothing store”.

See the Location and organization classification scheme appendix for more information about categories.

Items are named in accordance with the general rules (see 3.1.3. Map item naming rules).

Enter information that specifies the organization's location within the building.

For example: “4th fl., office 404”.

The attribute describes the current status of the organization/map item. Select a value from the list:

Don't enter working hours for places or organizations that are closed or under construction.

Enter the days of the week and times when the business or organization is open (if you don't know the store's hours, just enter the days when it's open).

If an organization is open every day from Monday through Friday, then it's better to enter “weekdays”. If it's only open on weekends, then enter “weekends”, and if it's open every day — “daily”.

For example: weekdays 9 am-8 pm (lunch 12 -1 pm), weekends 24-hours.

If you do enter the opening hours, you must enter them for every working day.

For example:

You must enter the organization's email address in the “Email address” field.

You can not enter an email that doesn't relate to the item itself in the “Email address” field (for example, the email address of the map item's author).
