Dynamic properties vs. Additional properties
• Dynamic properties are defined directly on the entity where the property is created.
• Additional properties provide metadata about how a Dynamic property should be displayed and instruct the system on how to handle it.
Usage and Dependencies
• All entities can have Dynamic properties.
• Additional properties are required in certain cases if a property is used by the IoT system.
• Customers leveraging Dynamic properties are not obligated to create Additional properties if they use the data themselves and understand how to interpret it.
Example
A custom name can be added to a Tenant as a Dynamic property. However, if no Additional property is created for it, the system may not interpret or utilize it in a standardized way.
In essence, Dynamic Properties exist on entities, while Additional properties determine how they are interpreted and used by the system.
