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.
