Understanding context

In Sage CRM development terms, context refers to information about the current situation of the user within the software interface. For example, a user who's looking at the Company summary screen is in the context of that company.

You can easily access contextual information, such as data from Company and Person tables, that relates directly to what the user is viewing. User table data about the current user is also available within the context framework. Use the GetContextInfo(Entity, FieldName) method to access information about the current context.
