The System Variables setting on the Global Settings page allows you to create and edit system-wide Custom Fields within your instance. These variables can be referred to from anywhere within SmartSimple using the following syntax:
@system.variable name@
Example:
If you have created a System Variable named Tax Rate you would use:
@system.tax rate@
A global System Library can be accessed as system variables. The available values and functions can be found under System Variables on the Global Settings page. The syntax is:
@system.library.variable name@
Example:
To return a list of languages from the global library, you would use:
@system.library.language@
System 2
You can also pre-process the variable name to access different system variables based on the context.
For example, if on a Web Page View you have a button that you want to have a different value based on the langid of the user.
