Key Features​

Resource Types​

TypeDescription
Artifact BundleFiles and key-value pairs that can be sent to an edge device.
Software UpdateRepresents the format of capture software update packages.
InstallerCapture installers that include a configuration for the edge device along with the installer.
ImageImages used in reporting and as homepage logos.
SoftwareSoftware packages that can be installed/shared on devices.

Example Use Cases​

Software Update Deployment​

Link these updates to specific devices, fleets or projects to make sharing capture updates at the device level more efficient. example: Wanting to add software to 5 devices within a fleet => upload the software and link it to the fleet

Installer​

Link a Capture installer with several devices, fleets or projects to have a capture installer available on all those devices. This is a special type since it sends the installer to the edge device along with a config.

Image​

Upload an image to use it as an icon on the home screen or apply it to a report.

Software​

Share software between multiple devices, fleets or projects efficiently by linking them. example: Retro capture software to transfer files between cloud and device.
