Hi Sumit,

how do you send those measurements to Cumulocity in nodejs? If it is via MQTT you will find information about custom templates in this [thread](https://community.cumulocity.com/t/i-want-to-register-custom-measurement-templates-via-mqtt/7751/2) and in the official [documentation](https://cumulocity.com/guides/reference/smartrest-two/#request-templates).

In case you are using the REST API, it isn’t required to register any custom templates for sending measurements. You just need to follow the structure for measurements, which is described in the [Cumulocity OpenAPI specification](https://cumulocity.com/api/10.11.0/#operation/postMeasurementCollectionResource).

Best regards  
Christian

Hi Sumit,

to have the [Process Widget](https://github.com/Cumulocity-IoT/cumulocity-processing-widget) pick up your event correctly, you need to define a mapping of the event in the Process widget. For example, you have an event, which describes a process step:

```json
{
  "source": {
    "id": "8237"
  },
  "type": "c8y_DobotProcessEvent",
  "time": "2022-05-03T09:29:11.704Z",
  "text": "Dobot Status: Idle",
  "status": "Idle"
}

```

The relevant field, which should be processed by the widget, is the `status` property. Inside the widget configuration you declare the mapping, e.g.:

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/cumulocity/original/3X/a/4/a4e3e50beb1f2343b419e75c2521f4e58e939bcd.png)

You need to define Event Type which is the type of your event. In the example above the value is `c8y_DobotProcessEvent`. In addition, you need to specify the property, which should be processed by the widget. In this case it’s the `status` property. Last, you have define the mapping for the values of the `status` property.

For the configuration above it will look like this:

 ![Image 15](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/cumulocity/original/3X/6/3/63e386a9752958db3f555f5b1bb37d702b8be9a9.png)

Hope this helps

Best regards  
Christian

Hi Sumit,

not sure what you mean by:

> i can ADD any data type in process widget right? like enum,string , BitString .

The process widget only processes Cumulocity events and evaluates a field, which needs to be configured in the settings of the process widget. The mapping for this field are defined in the `Field Value` column, which takes Strings as an input.

What do you mean by adding any data type in the process widget?

Best regards  
Christian
