Process Purpose
The "Variable Assign" process is used to assign a specific value to a variable. You can assign values to up to 40 variables with a single "Variable Assign" process.
Check the provided "Variable Assign" examples at the end of the topic.
When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Variable Assign" process.
If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.
Fill in the following options:
