Boards : METRIC with primitive Type

Hello Team,
Is there any reason why you can only use Numbers for the metric asset in Boards ?
Why can't we use Text ?
I would like to put Text, and add options (police, Size etc)
If anybody could give me a workaround ....
Thanks a lot

Hello Samuel,

Your question is very correct. We've already planned to introduce Labels in addition to Metrics. Labels will work very much like Metics, except they will reference text values in Shared Memory.

I'm curious, what for would you use this feature? What would be your use case?

Hello Dmitry,
That's to get some states of a bunch of running processes. Could be 1 or 0, but this would be less information than desired. What would be the best, in addition of "label" is a "card" stuffed with data of one or more assets (calculated/static). :slight_smile:
More again : calculated asset with "user input" features so that you can parametrize on the fly what you want to see if a parameter is set ... I'm dreaming :laughing:
