There are some form elements like a select list or a radio button that uses predefined lists. When these lists are a part of the form they are static or only changeable by modifying the form. For example, you may have a part list. If you make it static, every new part will require a change in form design. The concept of Lists makes them these lists dynamic and allows to change the list items by Office users. This is a more comfortable way for both users and system admins.
Lists may have location info or coordinates. MOBIDI App may uses these coordinates to choose the closest ones to limit the number of choices. When you have thousands of ATM points or customer or place to serve locations or customers, this feature is a great time saver. And also prevent many intolerable mistakes.
