Configuration data schema

About this page

On this page you'll be able to look up the meaning and opportunities of all the variables (potentially) contained in an MSP Challenge session configuration JSON file. Similar explanations can found in the Configuration Editor application that we ship with the full platform installer. Should some of the documentation on this page be wrong or incomplete, then we encourage you to update it yourself. Just make sure you're logged in and click on Edit Source to get started. Thank you!

This page follows the structure of the configuration file to the letter. This means that you should be able to recognize and find all of the headers on this page (e.g. 'metadata', 'datamodel') within any of the MSP Challenge JSON configuration files we ship.
