GETENVIRONMENTINFO

This function returns information about properties of the environment in which a report is displayed. This information can be used by report designers to ensure that reports are displayed optimally in different environments, such as dashboards and Apple Watch.

GETENVIRONMENTINFO is typically used in report load actions to configure variables that control report behavior.

This table describes the categories of environmental properties:

Category Property Description Value

Syntax

The category and property arguments of the function are optional but, in most cases, both are specified.

This syntax returns the value of a specified property:

=GETENVIRONMENTINFO("category","property")

For example:

GETENVIRONMENTINFO("Container","IsMing.le")

This syntax returns an XML table of all properties in a category, and their values:

=GETENVIRONMENTINFO("category")

This syntax returns an XML table of all categories and properties that have values:

=GETENVIRONMENTINFO()

The function ignores properties and categories that have no or empty values. For example, =GETENVIRONMENTINFO("Dashboard") returns no values unless the report which contains the function is displayed in a dashboard.
