Contexts (client/server)

In a few words context is a container for a variable.

Variable initialization logic should be implemented manually via Custom Code.

Each context could contain any quantity of variables of different types.

Context is a crucial peace for multi tenancy application. See Row Level Security for example.

Context could be client or server type. The difference is where initialization code is placed (server or client).

Also you could not access client context at server side and vice versa.

Server context variable could be used in Query filter.

Both server & client contexts used in action parameters in screens and in wizard parameters.
