Variable Creation

In the Form Builder, variables are used to store and retrieve values from specific controls within a form. Assigning a variable to a control ensures that data entered by users can be accessed and utilized within the automation workflow.

Steps to Assign a Variable

1. Open the Form Builder and choose the control (e.g., text box, dropdown, checkbox) to which you want to assign a variable.
2. Navigate to the “Variable Name” property on the right-hand side.
3. Locate the “Variable Name” property of the selected control and click on the three dots to open the Expression Editor.
4. Define the Variable in the Expression Editor
5. The Expression Editor provides two ways to assign a variable:

Creating a New Variable:

1. Enter a variable name (e.g., “UserInput”) in the editor.
2. Press CTRL + Q to declare the variable within the workflow.

Using an Existing Variable:

1. If the variable has already been defined in the workflow, simply enter its name in the editor.
2. The form control will be linked to this variable, allowing data exchange between the form and the automation.
