Variables
You can add data to the output using variable fields. If the variable is defined in the Event configuration, you can drag the variable from the Event view to the appropriate record. If the variable is created using scripts, you must add the variable field manually. You must make sure that the variable is available when it is used in the Process. For example, a variable defined within a block is only available when the corresponding block is being processed.
To add a new variable field
In the Process view, right-click the record and select Insert Variable. A new variable field is added to the record.
To drag a variable from the Event view
Drag the variable from the Event view and drop it on the appropriate record in the Process view. You can use the left mouse button as usual, or you can use the right mouse button to get more drag-and-drop options.
To configure a variable field
In the Process view, select the variable field and edit the properties in the Properties view, or right-click the variable field and select the appropriate shortcut menu command. See Variable.
