Map FactoryTalk Smart Object properties to a ThingWorx template or shape

When a node uses a ThingWorx template or shape, by default, the properties of the node (DINT, REAL, LINT, STRING) map to properties inherited from the ThingWorx template or shape.
If the node uses a ThingWorx template or shape but contains properties that are not in the ThingWorx template or shape, Smart Object Configurator creates the corresponding properties on the target Thing.
