Global Variables

Generally available variables

Overview

Use these variables to pass an application state through components, screens, or different URLs.

You can use these variables for data binding, visual logic, scripts, or query parameters, and will be some of the most recurrent start points for your application.

Considerations

The usage of these variables will make the whole application redraw its children, if you for example use a variable to store an ID, every time this variable is updated all the children of the component using the variable will redraw as well.

Use this behavior ad your advantage to refresh your app when necessary but consider collections for more important data, as it will handle better UX aspects such as roles, field access, or loading behaviors.
