Workflow Builder – Variables
Compose Enterprise is going through a design update. The illustrations on this page might be of the old design, but the information is up to date. Thank you for your patience during this update!
In the Variables section in the Workflow Builder you can add and edit workflow variables. These can be used to populate question answers and/or load the correct application by specifying parameter variables in the service access link.
Variables
Variables | ||
|---|---|---|
 | Create | Creates a variable. Note: The name can't start with a capital letter, contain white-space characters and must have a length of 1 to 40 characters. |
 | Delete | Created variables can be deleted by selecting the variable you wish to delete, then pressing Delete. |

Variable Properties
Variable properties | |
|---|---|
Name | The given variable name. There are rules as to which names it can take. It can't e.g. start with a capital letter, contain white-space characters and must have a length of 1 to 40 characters. |
Type | Currently the only option is data type variable equating a validated value variable. |
Validation | This can be String, Integer, Decimal or Date by default in addition to customized validations you've created in the validation builder. Changes in the data type have to correspond with the form question connected to the input variable. Only relevant for option source and data type variables. For more info about validations, see the Validation builder section. |
Static Value | The variable can be set as a Static value. Enter the preferred static value in the input field. |
Parameter Value | The variable can be set as a Parameter Value. Enter the preferred parameter value in the input field. (May be used if parameters are added to the service URL opened by the respondent. These could be used to populate a form and in turn trigger a service call.) |
Value | The variable value chosen will be displayed here. |
