Defining a variable
To define a variable:
- Open the workflow in Workflow Builder mode, see Create or Edit Workflow.
- Select the Start Activity icon. The Configuration Panel displays properties.
- In the Configuration Panel, select the Variables tab.
Configuring a variable
To configure a variable:
- Select the + icon to add a single variable or repeat to add multiple variables, see screenshot.
- Type the name for the variable.
- Select the variable type.
- Select the value of the variable.
Note
- For some types like Record Argument and Record List you also have to select the object it refers to
- You can set an initial value if you want. Warning - these values are set before the workflow starts so it does not know what the input values are at this stage.
