Can I create a temp variable in Kinetic Application Studio dashboard that persists whilt the dashboard is open?

[shobdy (Shawn Hobdy)]

Hello,

I am in need of a temp variable or two that I can initialize when the window loads and keeps the variable value the whole time the dashbaord screen is open.

Is this possible?

If so, how do I go about it?

Any help is truly appreciated!

Hello,

This is not something I have tried yet so not sure how to add it or access it once it has been created.

Can you give me some pointers on this please?

I appreciate the quick response!

There are a few posts on this already. Since I am in IT, I’ll let them speak for me..

How do you create a new field in TransView and assign a value to it

Here is some easy points for someone! JK, don’t know if it is easy or not. What can I use to create a new field in TransView and then assign a value to it? Is there some neat trick or do I literally have to create a hidden text box and then assign it through that?

Application Studio DataViews are dynamic.

You don’t actually need to declare one to use it. If you don’t explicitly declare a DataView, it will show during runtime as a “System DataView” instead of an “Application DataView” in dev tools.

So, at some point in the execution of your app, do a row-update, target something like tempvars.tempvar1, tempvars.tempvar2 etc.

Then you can reference these at any later point during execution.

Thank you!

That did it for me.
