Using workflow variables in Rulex

Workflow variables are external values, which are referenced by a workflow during its execution, and can be shared with other workflows and users.

They can improve the efficiency and security of your workflows.

Workflow variables can be:

• linked to specific task options via the Parametric Option tabs in tasks

• used within formulas in the Data Manager task

• used within alerts to define parametric alerts.

When using these variables in workflows, they are preceded by the "@" symbol, to identify them as referenced values. For example, @today.
