Question

DataBase ThingTemplate "isConnected" property is displayed as derived from GenericThing

The "Properties and Alerts" tab of the Database Thing Template lists "isConnected" property as derived from GenericThing.
Also, when listing properties of an inheritance hierarchy, Thingworx will only list them all (wrong) as derived from the parent.
While function of the inheritance mechanisms is not affected it is clearly stressful and needs to be fixed to enable communicating the layout to your colleagues.

Affects at least V 9.1.8

 

Can I use some workaround to get a clear picture of existing ThingTemplate assets without having to inspect them one-by-one?

Hello,

 

I realize this is a bit late, and I am not entirely sure I understand you question. But there is a service in the resource "SearchFunctions" entity called "SearchThingsByTemplate" that you can use to find all entities that is using a certain thing template.

 

Is this perhaps what you were looking for?

 

Regards,

Jens
