    Study Notes

    Using Dictionary Variables in Flow.BI

    • Flow.BI dictionaries provide variables and system variables.
    • Variables include user-defined variables (e.g., Client, Instance) and system-defined variables (e.g., PageN, ReportName).
    • Create additional user-defined variables.
    • System variables are generated and controlled by the reporting engine, and cannot be modified.
    • Variable names are case-sensitive.

    Referencing Variables in Expressions

    • Variables are referenced in expressions using curly braces: {VariableName}.
    • Example: If "MyVariable" holds "Hello, world!", {MyVariable} displays "Hello, world!".
    • Use the variable name enclosed in curly braces to reference it within an expression.

    Important Considerations

    • Scope: Variables must be defined within the correct scope (report, data band, or page) to be usable in expressions. Ensure the correct variable scope (report, data band, or page).
    • Data Types: Variable data types (e.g., numeric, string) dictate how they are used in expressions (e.g., calculations vs concatenations). Different data types enable different operations (e.g., calculations on numeric variables, concatenating strings).
    • Expression Editor: Use the Expression Editor for customizing and modifying expressions that incorporate variables, functions, and calculations.
