DocWriter has a Value domain for managing Values
between multiple Reports. What does this mean? For example, if we have a series
of Reports that are performed in a certain sequence, then some Values produced
by an earlier Report can be exported to the Value domain, and be imported and
used again by a 'later performed' Report.
Slide 2 - Slide 2
Slide notes
We will now consider the Tag Template that can be
used to Export a Value to the Value domain. Let us suggest that in this Layout,
where we have a Tag for 'Sales Year to Date', that we want to export this
Value.
Slide 3 - Slide 3
Slide notes
So we will
include a new Tag somewhere in the layout, a Tag that will be hidden and
that will just perform the Export function.

Slide 5 - Slide 5

Slide 6 - Slide 6
Slide notes
We can export any Tag that produces a Number as
it's result, and in our example, Tag 16 is the Value that we will export.
Slide 7 - Slide 7

Tag 3 is the new Tag that we have just inserted in
the layout, and that we will use to perform the export function.

We need to select the Name of the Domain Value.

that we want to export.

Our Tag Template is ready now, but before we leave,
we consider some functions for the Domain Names, and that are accessed from
here. If we need a new Domain Name, we can use the function to make a new Name.

This is the new Domain Name we created a moment
ago. It does not have any History yet.
Slide 39 - Slide 39
Slide notes
The screen has a function to remove the Domain
Name.
Slide 40 - Slide 40
Slide notes
When there is history, we can see updates to the
Name, and we can also see any access to read its current Value.

When we test our Report now, we see no change at
all, because the Hidden Tag that performs the Export is not visible in the
Report, but the Value that it has exported will now be seen in the Domain Name
record. Let's go and have a look.

Here we can clearly see the latest Value for the
Domain Name, which Report last updated it, when, by which Tag, etc. So far, no
Report has read the Value yet, but any Report trying to IMPORT this Value can
now do so.
Slide 67 - Slide 67
Slide notes
And this Value will remain in the Domain Name until
such time as the same or another Report exports a new value to this Domain
Name.
