Additional Notes

In order to have different reference points for different groups of users, you upload a reference point file into a set that can be assigned to one or more groups. For example, if you have separate reference point files for Europe and Domestic (US), you can assign the Europe reference points (along with the Domestic reference points) to VIPs , but assign only the Domestic reference points to everyone.
