[Upload a list of your assets via the "Upload Data" tool.](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Import_and_Upload_Custom_Locations_into_Spotzi__m_nieLIwRD2kBVzfvePkFA) You may also use the [POI app](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Filter_Overview_POI_Proximity_Filter__8eiMi5QJR5WrgGDqUZcqBQ) to create a dashboard with imported points of interest.

Click the buffer icon.

Select "Layer" as the buffer type.

Select your asset layer from the dropdown (this will be the only available layer).

Set your desired radius. Let's use a 50m radius in this example (0.05 KM).

Name your new layer (ex. "Buffers")

Click "Create Buffer"

Buffers with your desired radius will now be created around each of your asset points.

Delete your original asset points layer from this dashboard (only one layer can be used as input for a visitor profile or measurement report).

Your dashboard will now only contain the buffers surrounding your original assets. You can use these buffers as input for your next [visitor profile](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Creating_A_Visitor_Profile_Dashboard_In_Spotzi__rxcGWH3uSEqZ1mXfEJZbog), [measurement report](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Creating_A_Measurement_Profile_FTA_Report_in_Spotzi__k9nd6cQNTBC2cm6WCUbUPQ), or [cross-visitation analysis](https://scribehow.com/viewer/Cross-Visitation_Analysis_in_Spotzi__KAqvtQsdTJ6m8iSPHeuwIQ).
