9.3.2 Editing Variables

Note:

After creating a variable, you cannot change the type and subtype of the variable.

You can edit an object based on the following criteria:

• If you edit an approved object, then a new version of the object is created and the changes are reflected on the new version.
• You cannot edit an object if it is in any other state other than draft state.

  Note:

  However, editing an object that is approved creates a new version of the object.

To edit a variable:

1. Login to STSA.
   The Workspace Summary page is displayed.
2. In the Workspace Summary, Sandbox tab, launch the required workspace.
3. Click Building Blocks and then click View in the Variables section.
   The variables summary page is displayed.
4. To modify the variable, click more options and then click Edit against the variable.
   The variable definition screen is displayed.
5. You can modify or change the description, variable group, logical reference, dimensions and hierarchies if applicable.

   You can edit the name of an object only for the first version and if it is in draft state.

6. To save the modifications, click Update.
7. To submit the variable for review and approval process, click Submit for Review.
   For more information, see the Workflow for STSA Objects.
8. To return to the summary screen, click the Variable Summary or click Cancel.
