PHONISM TAGS

...

Phonism tags are a customer definable system of key value pairs that can be used as variables within single device parameters as well as templates. Phonism tags are functionally similar to Parameter variables but differ in the sense that the values are definable versus resolved.

Similar to the templating engine, tags also follow a top-down inheritance through the account hierarchical structure. Tag values are enforced top-down and are not over-writable by tags of the same name at lower levels in the hierarchy, unless the tag is specifically set to be overridable.

Create a Phonism tag

  1. Navigate to the level of the hierarchy you wish to create the tag.

  2. Select the Resources tab.

  3. Click Tags.

  4. Click New Tag.

  5. Enter the desired tag name, value, and overridable flag.

  6. Click Continue.

A new custom tag is added to your account. To edit an existing tag, select Edit in the Actions column next to the tag you’d like to modify.

AUXILIARY FILE

You can upload and provision devices with images, audio, and configuration files. Provisioning images and audio is a great way to customize devices for individuals or your brand.

The file is uploaded and all Phones and Templates now have a new Phonism Tag available for configuration. This tag is the URL for the phones to access the file. See the next section, Provision a file, for steps on how to configure a phone to retrieve a file.
