GE Connection Records

GE Connection records establish the connection to the GE Fleet message broker. To establish the connection to the message broker, certain fields on the GE Connection record must be completed.

This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the GE Connection family and appear on the GE Connection datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information.
