	Globals can be used, broadly speaking, to store and recall values. The most common application of this is in combination with [[excel]] sheets. Using [[TQL]], the value of a global can be loaded into an excel sheet and used in calculations. The values of globals can also be [[TQL#Numeric_values\|set using TQL]] from excels. Globals can also be used to directly influence the budget of a specific [[Stakeholder\|stakeholder]]. Lastly, globals can be ~~added to~~ the [[3D ~~map~~]]~~, making their value directly visible to all stakeholders~~.		Globals can be used, broadly speaking, to store and recall values.

	~~===Read Only===~~
	The {{software}} also contains a list of reserved Globals. These reserved Globals are read only, because their values are set automatically by the server. Users can still inspect and query the values of these globals using [[Tygron_Query_Language#Item statements\|SELECT GLOBAL TQL queries]], but are unable to apply [[Tygron_Query_Language#Update statements\|UPDATE GLOBAL TQL queries]] on these Globals. Currently only the [[Water_Storage_(Indicator)\|Water Storage Indicator]] uses this mechanism and when this indicator is added to the project, these read only Globals will be visible in the list of all globals.

	~~The following Globals are read only:~~

	A global is a value that exists in the project but is not necessarily connected to a specific component. The global can be used, for example in Excel calculations and influence the calculation of an Excel indicator. A global is similar to an [[attribute]] but for the entire project rather than for a specific component. The name of the global is also the global [[ID]] that can be used in queries.
