Custom fields

There are various types of information related to users or devices that system integrators might want handy while operating their IoT environment. However, they often find it difficult to get that additional information stored or displayed on the IoT application which may not be provided as a default setting in the IoT platform. With IoTConnect’s custom field feature, you can configure inputs based on your requirement for the modules mentioned below: Company
User
Entity
Device

Use case

Suppose a company wants to keep a record of user creation and deletion. The company admin in IoTConnect can create custom fields under the user segment which allows them to input data in date format. Let’s consider another example where a company needs to have a description field for each of their devices. They can select Text or TextArea field for the device module to insert the required text.
