Hi,
I am trying to create a global/Macro variable which would be used as a parameter throughout the flow.It would be used as a dependent variable for loops,
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks
Hi vihar,
You might want to have a look at the nodes under the Workflow Control => Variables category in the Node Repository. Here you can find the dedicated nodes which help to create and operate on flow variables. In particular, if you want to create a flow variable it might be beneficial to use a Rule Engine Variable or a String Manipulation (Variable) node, for more sophisticated operations you can use a Java Edit Variable node.
A Table Row to Variable node is useful if you want to create a workflow using a node output (table).
You can also create a flow variable using one of the parameters used to configure a node. For that go to the Flow Variables tab in the node configuration dialog and input a name for your new variable in the input field (please see the attached screenshot).
When the variable is created it is carried along branches in a workflow via data links (black edges between nodes) and also via explicit variable links (red edges between nodes).
For more information about flow variables please also check this link.
Best,
Anna
