System Variables

These variable definitions are predefined and hard-coded as part of the Interaction Designer installation, and there is no option to modify definitions through the UI. However, these variables can be used and allocated with values at any stage during the Interaction workflow.

System variables can be viewed and updated using the System Variables tab of the Variables Definition dialog. (To access the dialog, from the Edit menu, select Variables.)

System Variables Tab

Preconfigured system variables that are provided with the Interaction Designer are listed in the following table. Initial values can be allocated by the designer,  but cannot be added, removed, or modified.
