The header of the CUSTOM VARIABLES tab shows the total number of variables that are currently assigned to the workflow. If no variable exists in the current workflow, there is no number in the header and the tab is grayed out.
When no variables are present, a simplified view of the tab is shown:
•To create a new value, press Add custom variable button. A new variable of a type string will be created and selected.
•To import variables from RayFlow, press Import from RayFlow phase. PackBench will ask to sign in to RayFlow and select the phase to be imported.
Once at least one variable is already assigned, the view changes:
The area is divided in two different sections:
•The left panel shows all variables assigned to the workflow.
•The right panel shows the details of the current selection
