Defining New Workflow Variables

In addition to the default variables that every workflow contains, you can also create new workflow variables.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. To define a workflow's variables, on the Actions drop-down list box, click Workflow Variables.

For flows that contain a sub-flow, the variables of the sub-flow are also displayed in the dialog box shown below.

  • The user can only change the value of sub-flow variables.
  • If a variable in the sub-flow has the same name as a variable in the parent flow, the user is warned that the value will be overridden.

  1. Click OK to save the workflow variables, or click Cancel to discard changes.

Removing Variables

Procedure

  • To remove a variable, select it and click Delete.
