You don't have a MWE, so based on my understanding of your illustration, I have
the following:
%%% SOF
% required for 'cow'
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]
\setvariables
[assignments]
[set={\setups[assignments:set]}]
\startsetups assignments:set
\writestatus{variables}{assignments:set is being called..}
\startalignment[middle]
\bTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=flushleft,style=bold,distance=2cm]
\setupTABLE[c][2][align={flushright,lohi}]
\bTR
\bTD \externalfigure[cow][height=2cm] \eTD

Essentially, variables in ConTeXt has a nice set key which can be made to
trigger anything when the variables are set. So you can give it a setup to do
whatever you want by just saying
\setvariables[assignments][...]
wherever in the document you desire. See here for an example [there is also a
'reset' key]:

[Since you said 'framed assignment box' you can enable the frames of the cell
you want, and change formatting as needed]

[NTG-context] Makeup on same page as main content
Hi all, I would like to create a makeup environment that will contain author, university logo and date and other information that doesn’t occupy its own page that I can define in an environment file and reuse. The logo and date should occupy the margins at the top at the left and right respectively. Then there will be course information on the left and a framed assignment box on the right (as it will have special fonts). Much like the title of a latex article class. It should look something like this: [logo] [date] - [course]: [Code] [assignment] [name] [ ] [class][ 1] -- body Any pointers on how I can achieve this?
