It has always been best-practice to not trend regular string parameters, for obvious reasons.
I wonder though if the same applies to string parameters of type 'discreet'?
What are the specific features - could be client and/or server side - which are not supported for such parameters?
Should we always aim to convert these to numerical discreets?
What's Skyline's advise on this?
Trending on string parameters (including string discreets) are not supported in the web and mobile applications (Reports & Dashboards, Monitoring, Custom apps, WebAPIs). So if you want to view the trending in these apps it will be better to use numerical discreets.
