What is Documentation in Entities for?

[tcoufal]

Hi,

maybe a dumb question, but what is Documentation is Entities for?

Besides that I can see it in Entity is there any more meaningful tool?

How can I use it?

Hi,

Documentation field is simply used to describe the usage of an Entity within ThingWorx and/or one's Process/Application. Unlike the description field, the advanced text editor is available to include text fromatting, embedded image/video, etc.

Documentation area is too small.

Is Documentation info consumable via REST? (I cannot any related service)

I would like to use some stand-alone GUI for to read the Documentation based on some criteria (Thing, Template, Shape etc.)

Something like DevDocs or so...

If you open a support ticket, I will go ahead and submit an enhancement request, specifically for a "GetDocumentation"/"Set Documentation" services.
