GLOBALVAL

Gets the Global Value for the specified key name (if any)

Syntax

GLOBALVAL('keyname')

Example

Say you have a common field in several Form Screens that the user has to select every time - e.g. a project, client or job number.

If the user tends to select the same value every time, then you should consider storing this in a Global Value.

Notes

Global Values are stored as text, so if you use GLOBALVAL() as an assignment to a Date/Time or Number field, then you will need to convert the value to the correct datatype of the target field. This is done using our TODATE() and TONUMBER() functions respectively.
