Get Value from Global Context
Description
Located in process nodes in the Data objects dropdown menu, the Get value from global ctx part allows you to access a variable in the global context when the system performs processing in a different local context.
Use
This part is most often used when using the Repeating Inputs within the LogicNets Assessment Framework. If the user sets a value in the main application that is required for a rule or processing step in the repeated section, use this part to "get" the global variable and include it in the collection generated by the repeater.
Tips and Tricks
If your repeating logicnet model just needs some information from the main application temporarily, then you can do the following:
- Copy the full path of the main variable from the global context.
- Rename it to a short/simple name for the local context. The system shows it as part of the repeater collection set.
- Set a delete object part at the end of the repeating logicnet, which is not the main application. The system will remove the variable/container from the collection and keep the size of the overall context down. If you do not do this, the system adds the variable to EVERY collection record in the repeater. You can see this if you inspect the context using the DATA button.
Make sure you place this part BEFORE the local logic that requires the information, but in the same logicnet. This should not go in the same logicnet containing the call node to the repeating/local logicnet.
