Variables

Variables hold the data a process works with. They are created from the process objects panel in the canvas and are used by forms, conditions, triggers, and messages.

Create a variable

  1. Open Process objects → Variables.
  2. Choose + New.
  3. Type a name and a label, and choose the variable type.
  4. Optionally attach a SQL query, define accepted values, or set a default.
  5. Save.

Variable types

The type list does not include File; it does include Multiple file, which is the type used to attach several files.

SQL query

  • The SQL field resizes when you drag its corner.
  • Each variable keeps its own query: opening a second variable does not show the first variable's SQL.

Accepted values

In Define accepted values the buttons Add, Save, and Cancel sit on one row. Adding, editing, and cancelling a value work as expected.

The variable list

  • The list fills the available height.
  • Selecting the Variable or Type header sorts by that column.
  • The Prefix column shows the whole value instead of cutting it.
