Global Fields

Fields you create using Dexterity represent individual pieces of information in an application, and can appear in windows and be stored in tables. Each field in an application uses a data type to specify its characteristics. Many fields can use the same data type. Two types of fields are used in an application dictionary: global fields and local fields.

• Global fields can be used in windows for the application, and can be stored in tables. They can also be used as global variables.
• Local fields can be used only in windows. Local fields are discussed in detail in Windows.

Information about global fields is divided into the following sections:

• Field elements
• Using global fields
• Array fields
• Procedure: Creating global fields
