Object Variables

Object-type variables can be used to populate rule properties with data that does not appear in local data files or incoming documents. Use an object-type variable when you do not know what type of data (string, number, etc.) will populate the variable.

This process takes place in a Ruleset editor, in the Variables section.

1. Make sure nothing in Variables is selected. If something is selected, Ctrl+click on it to deselect it.
2. Click the Add Variable button to produce the Create a New Variable window.
   1. In the Name field, type what you'd like to call the variable.
   2. Select Object from the Type drop-down.
3. Click OK to complete this task.

Use the new variable as you would any other child node from the source or target Schema.
