Using the Code Variables

Not available in Factory Lite license.

Code variables allow you to change the values of parameters used in task options without needing to open and modify the flow directly.

A single variable can be used for many different task options, so that when it is changed you simultaneously change the value for all the options that use the code variable.

For example, an exchange rate, or the current date could be defined as a code variable in many different tasks in a flow, and this single value could be updated just once through the corresponding code variable.

Code variables are located in the Flow Summary.

Sensitive variables are now included in the Code variables, as their values are hidden. If you have the Modify permissions, you can see the sensitive value by clicking on the eye next to it, otherwise encrypted values are displayed.

This operation is possible only when the user with Modify permissions is inserting the sensitive variables. After having saved the variables, this option won’t be available anymore.
