A context is an object that defines and encapsulates data for a functional or business entity.
In the presentation layer of the toolkit, contexts are used to define and encapsulate data at the branch level (a branch context), for workstations (workstation context), for users (user context), and for customer sessions (customer session context).
In the toolkit, a context is bound to a transaction flow. The data of a context that has been bound to a transaction flow is then shared across the entire transaction flow. You can select the context that you want to bind to a transaction flow.
