== Properties ==
 
The properties of a thing instance are defined in its type [[IoT_Semantics#Things_and_Observations_semantic|semantic]]. There are some properties that are common to every type. Beside '''name''' and '''description''' there  are a few that are important to mention:
 
*[[Location]]: spatial location of the thing.
 
*[[Proximity area]]: field used for in-room or proximity location.
 
*[[Floor plan]]: the thing types with the '''floorplan''' checked in its semantic, will include this field that allows the user to associate a floorplan to the thing and to calibrate it spatially: to define a parallelogram in the map so the plan could coincide with the thing location. An example could be to associate a floorplan to a shopping center map boundary so we could locate later the different stores present in the mall.

Collections

  • This views are organized by collections of things types
    • Filter can be applied to show a subset of collections

Thing instances

Instances can be created, updated, cloned or deleted (See resources edition)

Navigating to a thing makes possible to edit the instance fields Using tree editor. Fields like location and floor plan require the use of the map

Apply filters

  • It is a good practice to apply filter and/or observers to select the subset of things we would like to work with.
    • Using the map spatial filters can be applied

Unique addressability of things
