Assign value to shared result
Solution No. 134
This action sets a Shared Result variable to a specified value, which can then be retrieved from other screens using a Get Value From Shared Result action. A Shared Result is different from an Action Result, in that an Action Result is only to be used in a list of actions for one object, such as when a button is clicked. A Shared Result, by contrast, can be retrieved anywhere else in Method.
So where would we use it?
There may come a time when you need to use a result from one screen on another screen. For instance, performing a basic math calculation where you need to use the result on a separate screen. Simply assign the value to a shared result which allows it to be used in the actions on another screen.
