Building a ThingWorx Application
The recommended workflow for building an IoT application on ThingWorx Platform is as follows:
1. Create a Project.
2. Create Model Tags.
3. Create Thing Shapes to implement common or shared properties and services.
 |
It is recommended that you use Thing Shapes to define the properties and services. If you define properties and services on a Thing Template, it is difficult to move their definitions to a Thing Shape.
|
4. Create Thing Templates that implement one or more Thing Shapes.
6. If general services for business logic are required, consider creating manager or helper things to consolidate the services.
7. Create the user interface for the application in the Mashup Builder.
9. Package your application as an extension. If your application has dependencies on other extensions, define them in the metadata of the extension. See the section Installing a ThingWorx Application to install the extension.
