When to create custom Footprints

This topic explain when and why you would create custom Footprint.

Users can create their own Footprint Sets in the Preview tab of the ribbon toolbar. In a Footprint Set, they can overwrite Footprints. But by default, the only Footprints they can overwrite are the ones that ship with the product.

You can create additional custom Footprints for them to overwrite, by configuring such custom Footprints in the configuration file.

Custom Footprints correspond to Ambient Data Framework keys. They can use predefined controls such as radiobuttons or a dropdown, or you can create a custom control for your custom Footprint.
