Technician name on one screen — Context variable; Work orders — Collection; Logic statements — Named formula

A context variable should hold the technician’s name because the value is required only on the home screen. Context variables are screen scoped, which limits the state to the place where it is needed and avoids creating wider application dependencies. A collection is the correct structure for work orders because it stores a table of records that a gallery can enumerate, filter, and display. A named formula is appropriate for reusable logic statements that should be calculated consistently without imperatively setting a variable. The original answer image selects a global variable for the technician name, but that scope is broader than required; the image is retained unchanged while the verified mapping uses Context variable. A global variable is appropriate when a scalar value must be available across screens, not when the requirement explicitly limits persistence to one screen. The app should also avoid loading an unnecessarily large work-order collection and should delegate filtering to the data source where possible. The Study Guide directly lists “manage variables and collections” and “named formulas” under Create canvas apps. The verified mapping applies each state mechanism at its intended scope and data shape.
