RC_TOKEN_MAIN

Define variables that can be inserted into script questions.

Before you define a token, you must define the mechanism for setting the token value. You can:

  • Define a component interface in PeopleTools.

  • Define a PeopleCode function on the PeopleCode Function page.

  • Define a variable on the Variable page.

Use the Token page (RC_TOKEN_MAIN) to define variables that can be inserted into script questions.
