Learn how to use a global variable in a login form to customize a prototype and simulate what it would be like if an admin user logged in. Discover how to set up conditional cases in the OnPageLoad event to customize a prototype based on a global variable.
- [Instructor] We can use global variables in Axure…to completely customize how a page looks or behaves…based on something else that happened…on a different page of our prototype.…Once an area where you might wanna do something like this…is if you wanna show how your prototype would look…for different users.…In this example, I've got a prototype with…a log in page and a dashboard…and I wanna be able to show…what this dashboard would look like for an admin user.…Here on the dashboard,…I have some hidden admin tools in this header here.…
They're over here in a button called Admin Tools…and in the main part of the dashboard,…I've also got some edit links…right next to all my dashboard metrics.…These are going to be hidden for normal users,…but I wanna show them for my admin.…To simulate what that would be like,…I'll set it up so that if I type the user name…Admin into the log in form,…then it will show all those links on the dashboard page.…To set this up, I'll need a global variable.…Global variables are the only things in Axure…
