Member Values for User Variables

User variables act as filters that enable users to focus only on certain members, such as a department.

To administer the user variables, click the Navigator icon Navigator icon, and select Variables. The User Variables tab appears by default.

If you have the Administrator role, you can select the valid members for the user variable in the User Variable Definition column. The members that you specify limit the members that users can select when they assign a value to the user variable in User Preferences.
