Project Editor Model Variables Tab

Use the Model Variables tab to create and define variables that you can use when you require different values for the same field, depending on the environment.

Some applications require specific model variables. See "About OSM Model Variables" for more information.

Field Use

Add

Click to add a new variable to the Model Variables table. Design Studio adds the value VAR_1 to the Name column. This table is read-only. To change the value, select the table row that contains the new variable, and enter a new value in the Name field.

Remove

Select a row in the Model Variables table and click Remove to delete the variable.

Model Variable Details Section

Field Use

Name

Displays the name of the variable in the selected table row.

Sensitive

Select to secure the variable defined in the selected table row and to hide the default value from users. When you select this option, the default value defined for the cartridge model variable is obfuscated in the user interface and on disk.

By default, cartridge model variables are not sensitive.

Important: If you deselect the Sensitive option, Design Studio clears the Value field to protect the existing value.

Value

Displays the default value for the variable in the selected table row. You can provide a default value for variables when multiple environments and share the same variable value.

Note: When defining default values for variables, employ the same default value for a variable across all projects in a workspace. If a variable defined in multiple projects does not share the same variable value, a warning appears in the Problems view.
