Under the Attributes tab on the thing page, you can view and
update the values of attributes.
-
To view the list of attributes for a thing, select the
Attribute tab on the thing details
page.
-
To view the historical values of an attribute, click the
View icon of the attribute.
-
To update the value of an attribute, click the Edit
icon, type a new value in the Attribute value text box,
and then click Set attribute.
If the thing is sending attribute values to Device Cloud,
the values sent after you update the attribute overwrite your changes.
-
If you want to clear the value of an attribute, click the
Delete icon.
If the thing is not sending attribute values, no attribute
value appears. Otherwise, the next value the thing sends appears.
-
If the thing definition has Auto
def attributes selected and you want to add a new attribute,
click New attribute and then do the
following:
-
In the Attribute key text box, type a name for
the attribute.
If you type the name of an existing attribute, the
existing attribute value changes and a new attribute Is not
created.
-
(Optional) In the Attribute value text box, type
the value of the attribute and then click Set
attribute.
If you specified an attribute that did not already exist,
the new attribute appears in the list. If you did not specify a value, the
attribute is created but does not show a value. However, you can specify a
value later.
The attribute is automatically added to the thing definition.
