Substitution variables act as global placeholders for information that changes regularly. For example, you could set the current month member to the substitution variable CurMnth so that when the month changes, you need not update the month value manually in the form or the report script. You create and assign values to substitution variables within Planning. These substitution variables are then available in Planning when you select members for a form.
For more information about selecting substitution variables, see About Selecting Substitution Variables as Members.
Note: | If you migrated an application that uses Global variables, you can view, but not edit, them in Planning. |
