Using variables to specify the output format

You can use a variable to specify the output format of a hyperblock:

  1. Select the hyperblock and open the Attributes pane of the List Designer.
  2. Select the attributes that can be used to format the output.
  3. Open the properties of the hyperblock.
  4. Select <User-defined> as the value of the key output cell.
  5. Reference the variable in the Edit Formula dialog. For example:
    =GlobalVariables.gv_Format.Text
  6. In the variable, enter the name of an attribute (for example: Member_Unique_Name
    Note:  The attribute names in the List Designer are aliases. For example, Element Unique Name is an alias of Member_Unique_Name.

    See ROA

    The output of the hyperblock changes according to the value of the variable.
