Ensuring that a session variable is saved

To have a session variable saved across sessions, place the following prefix before the session variable name:

__saved_

The session variable is then saved in a separate .dat file located in the following folder on the client machine: C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Skyline\DataMiner. When a session variable is saved, if a user reopens a card with that session variable, the session variable will be set to the last saved value.

Note

Using the variable name without the "__saved_" prefix will always result in a new session variable. As such, all components that use a saved session variable should always use the "__saved_" prefix.
