1. Select the process where you want to add the variable.
2. Now you can use one of two methods:
l
Click on the Home tab of the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon, then click Local Variable in
the Variables group.
l
Right-click on the process in the Configuration Components area, then click on Insert
Local Variable.
Deleting a variable
l
Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components pane and click Delete.
Note: Deleting a variable does not delete any reference to it. In both the case where a script
refers to a variable and it is renamed, and the case of deleting a variable, any task or script that
refers to it will cease to function and will generate an error.
Renaming a variable
l
Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components pane.
l
Click Rename.
l
Type in the new name of the variable, then press Enter on your keyboard.
Note: While renaming a variable will correctly rename all references to it in task properties or
wherever else it is used in a task, it will not change the references in any script within a Run
Script task.
Setting a variable value within a process
You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
l
Use the Set Job Info and Variable action task. See "Set Job Infos and Variables" on page400.
l
You can use Scripts. See the chapter "Using Scripts" on page117.
Tip: Variables may be used as variable properties in Task Properties (see "Variable task prop-
erties" on page245).
Global variables
Global variables are set at the level of the configuration file and are shared between all processes and
tasks.
