Parameters
Add new variable (default = "") Add a new global variable. Added variables can be removed using the "Remove" button.
Variable name (default = "") Name of this variable. This is the name that will be used when referring to the variable in place of fixed values. To refer to variables, use the form "V{[VARIABLE_NAME]}", where "[VARIABLE_NAME]" is replaced by the variable name. For example, a variable called "my_var" would be referred to using the text "V{my_var}".
Variable type (default = "Text") Controls how the variable is specified:
- "Choice" Select the output variable from a pre-determined list of options (specified with the "Variable choices" parameter).
- "File" Select a specific file on the computer for this variable using the "Variable file" parameter. The variable will be set to the full path to this file. Note: backslash characters will be escaped (i.e. "\" will appear as "\\").
- "Folder" Select a specific folder on the computer for this variable using the "Variable folder" parameter. The variable will be set to the full path to this folder. Note: backslash characters will be escaped (i.e. "\" will appear as "\\").
- "Text" Specify a fixed text value for this variable using the "Variable value" parameter.
Variable value (default = "") Fixed value for the corresponding global variable when "Variable type" is in "Text" mode.
Variable file (default = "") Fixed value file location for the corresponding global variable when "Variable type" is in "File" mode.
Variable folder (default = "") Fixed value folder location for the corresponding global variable when "Variable type" is in "Folder" mode.
Variable choices (default = "") When "Variable type" is set to "Choice" mode, these are the options that will be presented by the "Variable choice" drop-down parameter. Choices are specified as a comma-separated list.
Variable choice (default = "") Pre-defined list of choices to select global variable value from when "Variable type" is in "Choice" mode.
Store as metadata item (default = "false") When selected, the variable will be stored as a metadata item. This allows it to be exported to the final spreadsheet.
