Add notes for R2 Obix proxy points

When adding R2 Obix proxy points from the discovered lobby, and selecting a property (recommended), note that currently the default Name is the same as the selected R2 property name, such as “statusOutput”, “prioritizedOutput”, and so on. In addition, Facets show default values. See figure below.

Edit the default Name to a more descriptive value for that R2 object. If needed, you can find the R2 object’s name inside the shown “Href “value (you may need to click inside that field and press End).

Facets in the Add dialog do not need editing, even though uninitialized values (sometimes “null”) are shown. Upon adding the proxy point to the station, the units (or activeInactiveText) in the source R2 object are automatically uploaded and used as the Facets in the proxy point, as shown below.
