When the process ends, the local variable forgets whatever value was given to it by the process
and goes back to its default value. Local variables are generally used to keep information that
is useful for the process itself but not to any other process or instance of the process. For
example, you could store the current order IDfor the process, a name or an email. You can
have as many local variables as you want in any given process.
To add a local variable, you can use one of two methods:
l Select the process where you want to add the variable.
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.
Shared tasks
These procedures can be used on both local and global variables.
To delete a variable
l Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components Area and click
Delete.
To rename a variable:
l Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components Area.
l Click Rename
l Type in the new name of the variable, then press Enter on your keyboard.
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. Deleting a variable, on the other hand, does not delete any reference to it. In both
the case where a script refers to a variable and it is renamed, or in the case of deleting a
variable, any task or script that refers to it will cease to function and will generate an error.
You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
