Session variables hold predefined values for a user and are initialized when a user logs in to Oracle CRM On Demand. When session variables are initialized, they remain unchanged for the duration of the session. Session variables are private values for a user and each instance of a session variable can be initialized with a different value for different users. You can reference them in the following areas: Title views, Narrative views, Column Filters, Column Formulas, Dashboard Prompts, and so on.
The most common use of a session variable is to reference it in a column filter condition of a report where you want to dynamically limit the results. The limit is based on the value of a session variable, such as the current fiscal year and month.
A session variable is referenced using the syntax NQ_SESSION.{Variable Name}. To use it in a column formula, it is referenced using the syntax VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Variable Name).
