Global Variables

Global variables can be used for sharing data across multiple pages within the same application.

The Global Variables tab management window can be found in the general settings of the application to define shared data.

Upsert Global Variable

The name by which other widgets can refer to this variable. This is analogous to a variable name in a programming language.

A global variable has one of the following data types:

Input: Choose between various data types:
- Number: any FLOAT or INT data type
- String: any text string
- Datetime: a string formatted as a date
- Vertex: a vertex type and ID that can be passed into a GSQL query.
- Bool: True or False
- Map: a set of (key, value) pairs where the key type and value type are each one of {number, string, datetime, bool}.
- List: an ordered sequence where the element type is one of {number, string, datetime, bool, vertex}.

The value of the global variable if not assigned by a user. Without a default value, the variable defined by the input is undefined.

The value of the Global Variable can be changed through an input widget. Create a new input and bind it to the corresponding Global Variable.

A Global Variable can be bound to the corresponding type of query parameter for all kinds widgets that can execute a query.
