A session can be defined as a server-side storage of information that is desired to persist throughout the user's interaction with the web site or web application. (Source : http://www.lassosoft.com/Tutorial-Understanding-Cookies-and-Sessions)
In Stadium version 4.1.2344.5213 , we have added Session Parameters. Session Parameters can be used to pass information between pages, like a Page Parameter would. The difference is, you will only need to set it once and use it throughout the application. The values for the session parameter will change in one of the following cases :
1. The session parameter has been reassigned to another value
2. The session expires
How to use Session Parameters?
- Add a session parameter in the Application Explorer.
- Use the 'SetSessionParameter' action to assign values to the session parameter. Once set, you can use it in any page. Unlike Page Parameter, you will not need to pass the values specifically in the NavigateToPage action.
Session parameter values can be set from the following sources :
- Text
- Page Parameter
- Control values
- Custom Settings
- Value from another session parameter
