Create a global variable

Use the following procedure to create a global variable for use across forms.

Configure the properties.

Name	A name for a global variable, such as DSN.
Category	A category for the new variable.
Description	Type a description, such as "This variable is used to interact with the TotalAgility database."
Value	A value for the variable, such as TotalAgility. This value is used as the default value and can be changed at runtime.
Secure	If selected, secures the variable. Additional information about a secure global variable: When used in a form action, its value appears encrypted at runtime; in subsequent form actions, the decrypted value is used in the server. It can only be updated through server-side actions. If you try to update it through client-side actions, such as Same page, the value gets corrupted. In advanced form controls, such as Work queue, Job list, and Web capture, it can only be used in the Session ID property. It cannot be used in a custom form. It cannot be assigned as a document variant to the control.
Localizable	If selected, allows the variable to be included in the .resx file used for translation.
