How-to guides / Adding properties to subject types

Adding properties to subject types

In this guide we will briefly show you the steps to add properties to a subject type. Remember that an important prerequisite to this guide is that you have already created a property. If you have not yet created a property, please follow the guide to learn how to create a property.

In the example below, we have already created a location property in our Blockbax project, and we would now like to add the property to a subject type, namely a Temperature sensor. This subject type does not have a metric that sends the location, hence why would like to enrich this subject type with location information.
