Adding asset property prototypes

to add a property to the prototype, click the create property button under the created asset prototype’s properties menu fill in a descriptive name and optionally a description the asset properties that will be created will have the same name and description as the property prototype two types of property prototypes can be created property prototypes that reference a measurement, and property prototypes that reference a calculation measurement property prototype when instantiating an asset that has a measurement property prototype, the measurement will not be created instead, an existing measurement has to be linked to the asset property the selected datatype of the prototype is used to filter the available measurements that can be linked the selected name of the prototype is used to provide an automatic suggestion for the name of the measurement that will be linked the selected name can be templated to include the asset’s name, the property’s name or other metadata fields template values can be added by using the dropdown calculation property prototype when instantiating an asset that has a calculation property prototype, the calculation will be created based on the configuration provided the name of the calculation can be templated to include the asset’s name, the property’s name or other metadata fields template values can be added by using the dropdown the name of a calculation has to be unique therefore, it is recommended to use a template value in the name of the calculation to make sure subsequent initializations of the same prototype do not result in a name conflict for the calculation
