Recommended data structure for an Assets schema

Assets in Jira Service Management is a database tool, and so requires good data modeling to run at peak efficiency. The following table shows the limits we recommend staying within to keep your schemas running smoothly. These recommended limits are based on the type of attribute that is being used. Read more about attribute types.

We strongly recommend that you stay within these guidelines to reduce any potential performance or reliability issues.

You can exceed these guidelines - however there is a limit on how much data you can store in Assets.
