Custom properties

  Create, modify, or remove custom property keys. Note This display allows you to manage custom property keys only. To identify the value associated with a custom property key, you use the Add Custom Property display, accessed from the right-click menu of the Device View, Map View, or Custom Properties Editor view. You can choose to display a new custom property key as a column in the Device View, or select it later in the Configure Columns display. Element Description Add Specify the name of the custom property key. Note The property key cannot be blank. Edit Modify the name of the selected property key. Remove Remove one or more selected property keys.  

  Create, modify, and delete user-created property keys for devices or sensors. You use this option to access the display used to add, modify, and delete user-created property keys for devices or sensors. Once a custom property key is created, a new column appears, with the custom property key as the column heading, in the Device View, Custom Properties Editor view, and the View Device Sensors display. Note You access the View Device Sensors display from the right-click option in the Device View and Map View. This display allows you to manage custom property keys only. To identify the value associated with a custom property key, you use the Add Custom Property display in the right-click menu of the Device View, Map View, or Custom Properties Editor view. Until you identify a value for a property key, the fields in that property key column will be blank. You can use the Configure Columns icon to show or hide custom property columns in either the Device View or the View Device Sensors display. The Manage Custom Property Keys option in the Device menu, and the Manage Custom Property Keys icon in the Custom Properties Editor view, provide access to the Manage Custom Property Keys display.  

    Adding a Custom Property You can add a new custom property, or modify the value of an existing custom property, for the selected devices. In the Device View, Map View, or Custom Property Editor view, right-click one or more devices or sensors. Select Add Custom Property. In the Property Key field, enter a name for a new custom property. In the Value field, enter the value you want for the new property, or select an existing property key to modify its value. Click OK. In the Add Column to Device View display, choose whether to add the new property key as a viewable column in the Device View and Device Sensor displays by selecting Yes or No. You can use the Configure Columns icon to show or hide columns at a later time.
