Options

Where the Options section is available, you can define options to be used within the element definition (e.g. Failure, Anomaly, Automation), and whose value can be redefined by the end-user within the DPS page through the thing-options widget.

Options can be used in the element definition by including placeholders within the form fields.

For instance, you can define a metric based condition to activate and event in case the temperature is over a certain threshold.

Where maxTempOption is the name of the option, which also define a default value.

During event evaluation, the backend verifies the presence of an option with a redefined value, and if found, the new threshold is used instead of the option default value.
