The specific variables can be provided via adding metadata to your organization, project, or record. The metadata labels are defined in the
metadata_labels field of the widget. If this field is empty, no metadata needs to be set up.The metadata is specified in the order:
- organization, add the metadata to the organization level if you want the metadata available to all users in the organization. See here for more details.
- project, add the metadata to the project level if you want the metadata available to the users in the project. Other users from other projects could not use the metadata. The metadata at the project level will overwrite the metadata at the organization level.
- record/row, add the metadata to record level. This metadata can only be used for this record. The metadata at the record level will overwrite the same metadata at the project or organization level.
The priority of metadata: record > project > organization
The conditions will be checked before the loading of the widget. The errors have to be fixed to use the widget.
