You can use the general tab to select the model and integration type of the
supervisory device and set naming rules for the creation of devices, field points, and
extensions. The rules related to the field devices are based on three key parts:
supervisory key (sss), model key (MMM), and device key (ddd). The key fields are
highlighted in orange.
