Use to manage the global variable values that are used in
Styles. E.g. you may create a Global Custom
Value (variable) for your organization’s Help Desk Phone Number that can be
re-used throughout your website. The
Global Custom Value cvg#Logo1 is used
to display your organization’s logo in page headers, on orders, invoices, etc. Global Custom Values provide the ability to
manage commonly used values from a single location. When you change the value it is automatically
updated everywhere it is used.
You
cannot create variables for Global Custom Values using this page. The variables are created as part of the
style and component registration process.
This page is just used to manage the values assigned to existing
variables.
Global Custom Values are created
as THTML tags within styles. They have
the prefix CVG# followed by a name
assigned by you. When a style is
created, the Components Verification process registers its Global Custom Values
so they can be managed thereafter using Global Custom Values Management.
Global Custom Values are divided into three types:
- Text
– used to manage text values.
- Name – the name of the
Global Custom Value, e.g. cvg#HelpDeskPhone.
- Value – the value to be
displayed, e.g. (800) 595-HELP.
- Files
– used to manage files such as images that must be uploaded to your
website.
- Name – the name of the Global Custom Value, e.g. cvg#Logo1.

- Width – use to enter the pixel width of the image.
- Height – use to enter the pixel height of the image.
- Links – used to manage hyperlinks.

clicks on the hyperlink Caption.
