Users and Devices Unity?

Can I ask how these two predefined tables work together. I cannot seem to get much information on how, or if, they interact.

I cannot see whether a device and user should, or would, create a record at the same time. And whether the user and device records are linked, or can they be linked.

If i need information from the user, that will need to be used in the PUSH, do I need to copy the same details from Users or Devices ?

Thanks

Not sure you have answered my question at all!!!

Could you please read my question again, and perhaps answer it in more detail.

Thanks

Hi -

As Marina mentioned - this are separate collections.
And this collections are not linked and have no connections in between them.

Device collection is used to link your app with devices that are using your app and populates after the app has been installed on a device.

Users collection is for making the users registration process easier.
All the functionality is described here :: http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...

Do I take it that the idea is for the Users collection is for web based apps. This is what I am trying to understand. As the app self populates, but now the user info, then I can only think, they are designed for two different interfaces ?

It's for mobile web and native apps. For instance, your app has an account feature where you show user specific information. You could use the Users collection to create users, sign in users, etc.
