Creating a Variable from the System View

You can create a variable from the System View or from within the Component Designer by running the Variable Designer.

To create a variable from the System View:

  1. In the System View, select Tools > Variables.

  2. In the Variable Navigator, expand the Essbase application type.

  3. Essbase users: Right-click an application, and select New to create a variable that can be used in that application only.

  4. Enter a description for the variable.

  5. If you include this variable in a group, enter the group name.

  6. If the variable is a runtime prompt variable, select Use Last Entered Value. The prompt the user last entered is displayed as the default value the next time the prompt occurs.

    This option can be selected only if the variable has runtime prompts.

  7. In the Value table, enter values for the variable. The values you enter change depending on the selected variable type.

    Repeat these steps for each variable you want to create.
