Creating a Global Variable Object
Variable objects can be stored in the iFIX User page so that they can be accessible throughout your application, regardless of which pictures are open. You can read more about variable objects in the Creating Pictures manual.

- In the WorkSpace system tree, double-click the Globals folder.
- Right-click the User icon and select Create Variable. An icon representing the Variable object appears under the User icon.
- Right-click the Variable object icon and select Animations. The Animations dialog box appears.
- Set values for the Variable object and click OK.
To create a global variable using the Variable Expert:
- Select the Variable Expert from the Toolbox.
- Assign a name and type for the variable.
