Variables

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 2913 views

A variable is a value that can change depending on conditions or on information passed to the workflow. It is also used to store multiple types of data. In Robility Designer, we support large types ranging from generic value, text, number, data table, time, and date, to any .Net variable type.

Creation of Variables

From the Properties panel:

The Variables can be created from the properties panel of the activities. Enter the variable name and press Ctrl + Q , the variables will be declared. 

From the expression editor

Variables can also be created in the expression editor. Open any expression editor, enter the variable name and press ctrl+Q to declare the same inside the expression editor. 

From the Variables panel:

Variables are primarily created using the properties panel, but activities like the “Assign from Primitives” feature can only be created using the variables panel.
1. Click on the variables on the bottom of the designer pane.

2. Select the create variable option.
3. Enter the variable name and choose the variable type respectively.

Removing the variables

Clear unused variable

Robility Designer provides a flexible option to clear the un-sed variables in the workflow to avoid any conflicts. Select the Clear unused variable option from the menu bar. All the un-used variables will be removed.

From the Variables panel

Alternately, you can remove any duplicated or error-prone variable through the variables panel. Go to the variables panel, select the variable and right click on it. Choose the either Delete option or right click and press delete key. 

Existing variables

The designer suggests existing variables whenever you begin entering text in the expression editor or in the variable box. This feature aims to enhance user efficiency by offering prompt suggestions based on the context of your input, facilitating a smoother workflow in the expression editing process.
