Sets a value for the variable. Variables can be used as temporary storage for some information. As a value for a variable it may be any data: a value from Sugar Field (output from Get Entity Attributes/Get Attribute Data), computed data (Math operations), values set directly in the flowchart with Constants, whole entity, table, structure, array, Boolean, or empty value (empty string or NULL)
Note: value in variable ‘lives’ within flowchart run and cannot be passed from one flowchart to another one.
The most common cases to use variables are:
- to get some value that is set within the loop (as it is not possible to get any values directly from a loop outside form it)
- when some value is set based on condition – to merge several flows into one
inputs:
link or specify directly in the operator the name of the variable. It must be unique within the flowchart.
Variable names are case-sensitive. Var and var are two different variables.
- Required: yes
value – link with the value for this variable. It is a best practice to empty a variable prior to setting the actual value to it.
- Required: yes
