Elements Connect

Dependencies to the project

It may be useful to display data related to the project. To do that, you can reference project attributes in a Connected item query.

The $project variable is available and exposes 5 attributes:

Type

Name

Description

Example

String

key

Returns a string which corresponds to the current project key

$project.key> "ECC"

String

name

Returns a string which corresponds to the current project name

$

project.name



> "Elements Connect Cloud"

String

id

Returns a unique identifier which corresponds to the current project id

$project.id> "10001"

String

type

Returns a string which corresponds to the current project type

$project.type> "Software"

String

category

Returns a string which corresponds to the current project category

$project.category> "Apps"

Referencing properties of the current project works the same way as referencing the value of other Connected items.
Here is an example:

SQL
SELECT role, manager, company
FROM employees
WHERE company= $project.name

is evaluated to:

SQL
SELECT role, manager, company
FROM employees
WHERE company = 'Elements'
