To view the values of data points outside of the Industrial IoT plugin, for example displaying the weight of an object to a crane operator, you must enable the custom entity monitoring feature in Config Tool.
Before you begin

approved SDK partner. For more information, contact the Genetec Development Acceleration
Program.

- Select the plugin role in which the data points that you want monitor reside, and click Properties.
- In the Custom entity monitoring section, move the Enabled slider to ON.
