Using Global custom properties

How can I use a global property in relevance without having to use the same relevance that was used to generate the global property?

PS - When is the Bigfix for Dummies book coming out? :slight_smile:

There really isn’t a way. In most cases the time to evaluate relevance is very short (fractions of a millisecond). For instance here is the response time for checking for the existence of a file:

q: exists file “c:\boot.ini”

A: True

T: 0.142 ms

If you changes your retrieved property to a setting using the current relevance. You could then use your setting as the relevance check for Fixlet\Task\etc.

We have a large location relevance here that we use to set a client setting, useing substitution. Then we created a property to pull the value of the setting. Then when we want to use it for targeting the relevance is a lot smaller.
