Element Details: Set+Session+Variables
 Back


Available in: Logi Info Source code name: SetSessionVariables

Sets web server session variables. Values for session variables belong to each user, and last as long as the user's session.

Add a SessionParams element below this element to set any number of session variables.

Reference session variables with Session tokens. For example: @Session.MyVariable~

The session variables are set before the report is built.

A SessionParam can be a VBScript formula by entering an equals sign ("=") in the first position. For example if you want to convert the a request variable called Name to upper case, you could create a new SessionParam called UpperName. Then enter the value as:
=UCase("@Request.Name~")



ATTRIBUTES

NamePossible ValuesDescription
Condition
UserDefined
An expression that evaluates to a value of True or False. Expressions should be in JavaScript (recommended) or VBScript syntax. For .NET versions, the scripting language can be set in the _settings.lgx General element. For Java versions, the scripting language is always JavaScript. Typically, you would compare values using a token, such as "@Data.value~ < 0" or "@Session.ShowCol1~=='true'". Elements are removed when the Condition evaluates to False. Use quotes when working with strings: "@Data.myColumn~" == "SomeValue" If your data token may have a double quote inside of it, you should use single quotes: '@Data.myColumn~' == 'SomeValue' String valued data tokens with single and double quotes inside are not supported by the condition attribute.
ID
UserDefined
The ID attribute is a pervasive attribute that uniquely identifies an element within a definition file. The ID needs to be a unique value within the definition.
SetFirstTimeOnly
True
False
When True, the value of the session variable is set the first time, and will remain the same throughout the session.
