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 PReS 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
page310.
l
You can use Scripts. See the chapter "Using Scripts" on page123.
