Variable

Variable

A
Variable
component is a user-defined variable that you use in a Script.
Use variables for temporary storage in the same way that you use an XML element or attribute. For example, you can map a
Content
anchor to a variable, and you can use a variable as the input of an action.
Variables appear at the global level of the Script. A variable can have any data type that is defined in the schemas associated with the project, including standard types and custom types. A custom type can be either simple or complex. A complex variable is a structure containing nested fields. Initialization of complex variables is not supported. For more information, see Initializing Variables at Runtime.
The following table describes the properties of the
Variable
component:
