fls Custom Function

Hi to all

Is there any way to define a custom function in flexilayout studio?

I need to calculate a value in the presearch script and i ended up to copy my calculation script on each element i need it. It would be very helpfull if there is a user defined function in order to call from one place.

The best close senario i found is to give my parameters to an sql command and call a store procedure from my db. This way i can use the sp as a calculation function role but it is not ideal to call the db for every calculation.

Any Suggestion?

    Hi!

    You can use external fields for that.

    Example:

    First Declare variable in ExternalFields in the element where you would like to store calculation Header.StaticText for example:

    Int OwnCalculation = 0;

    Then do calculation in Advanced Pre-Search Relations

    OwnCalculation = 1 + 1;

     

    Later you can refer to that calculation from other elements (pre-search, post-search) like this

    Int ExistingValue = Header.StaticText.OwnCalculation;

    Hi Dusan

    Thanks for the answer.

    The problem is that the calculation needs input from any later element that i am using, thats why i need a function.

    What i am already doing is this, to repeat all the calculation script in advanced pre-search relations.

    It will be helpful to refer to cantralized function for better maintanance.

    Hi pfotisgr

    then DB approach would be OK for you

    It is possible to call the procedure from your DB
