Global variables

You can define variables as global variables for use across several forms.

For example, if you need to interact with the TotalAgility database, you can create a global variable with DSN=TotalAgility, as its value. The same variable can be used in different forms to interact with the TotalAgility database and its value can be managed in one place.

You can optionally provide localization for global variables.

TotalAgility provides the following out-of-the-box global variables with the Workspace package and they are used across Workspace forms:

  • Case reference
  • Job identifier
  • Process identifier
  • Process version
  • Resource ID of currently logged-on user
  • Name of currently logged-on user
  • Session ID of currently logged-on user
