Global ViewModel

The global ViewModel is available in many places in the application and can be used in XTemplates, among other things. It contains important information such as data on the user session, the global date range filter, the selected language, the active module, the user’s roles and rights and the maintenance mode. This centrally managed data enables consistent and efficient handling of application-wide settings and user information
