Variable Insert Tool

The variable insert tool provides a visual interface to insert workflow variables into fields as needed. All workflow variables follow a defined format that gets replaced by a dynamic value when the flow is being executed. The dynamic value is recalculated each time in the context of the job being processed.

Variables can be mixed in with any text in workflow property data fields. Variables can be manually typed however the variable insert tool makes it easy to search for and insert variables as needed.
