Using variables on a Decision block.

[Anon Anon]

When you edit a Decision Block on the Test Data tab, how do you set up a variable for a True or False decision? Do you have documentation about it?

Hi Alfredo Glower,

 

In the Tools menu, choose Properties, and then click the Variables tab, and add variables there. The variable does not have to be a Boolean. 

 

On the Test Data tab, where it says Display Output, you choose whether you are defining the condition for the true or false path. You can create a new variable right in this tab (click Add Variable button), or insert an existing variable that you just defined in the flow's Properties. The condition can be a simple string or number comparison, or you click the second Edit button the define a value in Data Painter.

 

On the Output Details tab, you can also rename the Output Descriptions (e.g. up/down instead of true/false).

 

Are you looking for doc mainly on the Data Painter, or the overall process?
