Root Company Variables can be referenced throughout your copy of SmartSimple using the syntax @rootcompany.fieldname@ or @rootcompany.#fieldid#@. The syntax is the same throughout the instance, irrespective of the object upon which the variable resides. In other words, the variable @rootcompany.fieldname@ will return the same value on a contact record, company record or record of any level.

Root Company Variables have similar utility to System Variables, in that they can store information that is relevant throughout your copy of SmartSimple in a centralized location. The advantage of Root Company Variables over System Variables is that System Variables can only store text strings as variables, whereas Root Company Variables can store values of any data format (text, number, date, etc.) supported by SmartSimple's custom fields.
