Constants
GT eForms 3.50 Helium includes a lot of static values. The G3CONSTANT table is an enumeration table that provides auto-complete code lookups and less error prone code by avoiding hard coded strings through the Framework. This table is intended for Framework constants only.
This table, setup page, and document are made available for GT eForm client developers to map the values they see in the Dependency Network Visualizer or in SQL queries against GT configuration tables and the component variable &GCON properties in code.

The page instructions only apply to GT internal use as modifications are made as part of product development:
Do not make changes to the Constant Key value, Constant Type, and Constant Value for any row that was defaulted as these are integrated into the framework. If you do need to add a new constant, add a row to the grid below AND add the new constant to G3UTILITY:Constant application class. If you make any changes in this page and you have the Form Type Setup or Form Type Build page open in another tab you will need to refresh before building the Form Type. &GCON is a component variable that stores a copy of the data in this table, so the component needs to be refreshed to use the latest changes made here.
| FIELDS | FUNCTIONALITY |
|---|---|
| Constant Key | &GCON property names used in code |
| Constant Type | This table is used as a mapping for a variety of constant types |
