6.8 Subwindow Common Variables
6.8.1 General
Subwindow common variables
The subwindow Common Variables contains the table with the configured common
variables. It can be shown in a separate window in the program part Configura-
tion as a part of the configuration view or (if not present on the desktop) with
View, Quick access . The subwindow can be enlarged and diminished as required; it
can also be maximized.
Use of common variables
Common variables are method-embracing variables that are stored per client and
can be used in formulas under the name
'CV.Name' . They are either entered
manually in the configuration or assigned in the method sequence by a CALC
command.
Note
If Common Variables are used in a CALC command then they will only be re-
quested at the start of the determination. This means that it is not possible to
write Common Variables during a determination and then use the altered value in
a different formula. For this you should use Method variables.
