Collection updates from multiple places

Posted on by Markswan20 121
I have a collection which pulls more than the 2000 record limit into the app, i have the same code in about 9 places.
 
I was wondering if i could create the Collection somewhere and use 1 command to pull the collection, this way if i change anything in the collection i don't have to do it 9 times.
 
Cheers

    Hi,
     
    You could create a Global Collection, which is good anywhere and no need to grab the data in 9 places.
     
    I don't know when you want to "fill" the collection with data, but I would recommend in the OnVisible property of the Main Screen.
     
    By making it global, you can access that same collection anywhere.

    You can use the Select() function, but only on the same screen.Why not simply Patch any changes to the collection ?
