Naming Properties
Name is a required field that uniquely identifies the property.
Names are case-sensitive.
You cannot include the following in the name:
• Spaces
• Some special characters
You can include - (hyphens), _ (underscores), $ (dollar sign), and @ (at).
 |
If a persistent property has an @ or $ symbol in the name, you cannot export the entity that contains this property to XML.
|
If you include hyphens in the name, they must be referenced using bracket notation. In the examples below, temp-01 is the property name:
var result = me['temp-01'];
var result = Things['ThingName’]['temp-01’];
• Leading numbers
You can use numbers within and at the end of the name.
• Can not have same name as other characteristics
You can not name a property with an existing name for other characteristics, for example: service, subscription, event.
Restricted Keywords
Do not use any of the following words in property names. Doing so will prevent extensions that contain them from being imported.
