Global Data Blocks

A Global Data Block is a shared data instance that can be accessed by multiple blocks. This means the data it contains is available globally and remains the same across all blocks connected to it. Different blocks can be linked to a Global Data Block as long as their data structure matches that of the Global Data Block.

When defining a Global Data Block, you choose the name and the data structure. You can then edit the Global Data and the default settings. These default settings can be overridden in individual section instances but cannot be changed when the block is used within slots defined in Page Layouts. In those cases, the default values will always be applied.

When you create a Data Block that uses a specific data structure (for example, DT_Name), you can add a section to a page using this Global Data Block by following these steps:

  1. Click the “+” (Add new block) button.
  2. In the modal, select “Global Data Blocks” at the top.
  3. Choose the desired global data (the one with the name DT_Name) from the left drop-down menu.
  4. Select a compatible block to use with that data.
