Meta data at board level

Hi,

 

Currently it seems that we can not create meta data at board level. Is there any other variable which can be used as substitution for meta data. i am looking for a variable that is attached to each board and can be refernced by board.

 

Appreciate the help and comments.

 

Thanks,
Sachin

    Hi Doug,

     

    Thanks for the reply. Would you consider using setting instead of meta data as a good architecure sustitute.

     

    Currently we are making calls to lithium everyday and dumping the data for internal use. So we would be quering this data as well very frequently. Will that cause any issue.

     

    Also is there any shortfall using settings instead of meta data that you can think of .

     

    Appreciate your help.

     

    Thanks,
    Sachin

    I think that settings are your only option for storing any kind of custom metadata at the board level (we only support custom settings at the board level and don't have support for the same kind of metdata that you can add to messages).

     

    We have API calls to get settings (including custom settings) for a given board and you should be fine making those calls on a daily basis.
