Summary

How to use the Set Variable Action.

 

Resolution

Here are the instructions and an example use for the Set Variable Action.

If FoxtrotOne is not sending the data base value correctly to the target application, the format of the data base field can be the issue. To resolve - use the Set Variable Action to insert the data base field into a variable, then create a separate action to send the variable to the location on the screen.

First you have to create a variable.

1.       Click the variable view on the view center and click add under the options menu.

2.       Name the variable appropriately

3.       Click Ok.

2.       Once the Set Variable screen appears click the ellipse on the Select a variable: – select the variable you created and click OK.

3.       Select the Wand on the Enter a value option then select the data base field name or  any value you wish to enter into the variable.

4.       Click Ok to save the action.

Now on every record FoxtrotOne will transfer the value from the data base field selected, into the variable and send the value to the field on the targeted application.
