For the Kio Asset Tracker and IV Pump apps, an Entity Type represents the type of device or equipment. For the Kio Staff Safe app, it's common that an Entity Type represents various staff roles or categories, and for non-staff these may be visitors or patients. Entity Types also serve as one of the foundational elements of the Kio Apps' metrics and analytics.
An entity represents the mobile asset, fixed asset, or people and are assigned to an Entity Type and also a Kontakt.io Tag or Badge.
