The Set Variable Task allows you to create or update a Variable. Variables can be used and reached throughout the whole application. You can use this to store static or dynamic values.

 

A Job variable is related to a job, thus when that specific job is exported, the Job variable is included.

 

 

Job

List of defined jobs.

 

Name/Unique key

The name you set on the Variable is also the unique key for the Variable. Wherever you want to use your defined Variable you use this Variable key: {USERVAR(variablename)}

 

Value

Set the requested value of the Variable here

 

Translate value to constant in Variable when running

Optional. If you, for example, use a Date Variable in the "Variable value" text box the Variable will be converted to a string when the Variable runs the first time - if not, the Variable keep the reference to the Variable. For example, if you use the current date as a Variable it will always show the current date when running in another Task (if unchecked). If this is checked, it will show the value of the date - from the last time the Variable was set.
