Global Defines

The Global Defines window allows you to create and customise variables which you can refer to in formula throughout the project.

When a value of the Global Define is changed every reference will reflect the change.

From the Global Defines window, you can view and edit all information regarding the global defines, available within the project.

Within the windows you can:

• Edit define properties such as Name, Value and Description
• Create new defines
• Delete existing defines
• View Global Define usage

A few considerations need to be taken into account when naming a Global Define. These include:

• Every Global Define must have a unique name
• There is no character limit to the Global Define name
• The name of a Global Define cannot be changed after it has been used within the project
• While a Global Define is linked to a spreadsheet it’s name is restricted from being changed.

GLOBAL DEFINES USAGE TREE

The Global Defines usage tree is accessed from the Global Defines ribbon menu or right-click context menu.

This window, by default, shows all locations in which the selected define(s) have been used. This allows you to quickly analyse where a particular define is used or assigned.
