# Local Global Tags

**Local Global Tags** are references through to the **Local Global** variables that are created within **Actions**.

**Local Globals** are very much like **Super Globals**, except that their scope is limited to a single instance of execution of an **Action**.

You can use **Local Global tags** anywhere where **Tags** are accepted.

**Local Global Tags** use the special opening tag <# and closing tag #>, with cross-hatch signs (#) at the beginning and end of the tag, inside the arrows. Between the tags you need to provide the name of the Local Global in the format <#localglobalname#>.

For example, if you have created a **Local Global** variable called **MyLocalGlobal** that you would reference with the tag <#MyLocalGlobal#>. The **Local Global** will be converted to a string value when the **Tag** is translated.

You can control the **Local Global** variable format by providing a display format when you create the Local Global.

Floats and Datetime types will convert using the standard format.
