Add variables in the Process editor

Up until now, the number of variables in a Planning Analytics Workspace TurboIntegrator process was limited to the number of columns in the data source. The variable for the process were created automatically, one for each column in the source.

​ As of Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.75, you can use the new Add variable option on the process editor to add variables to a process.

A variable name cannot be empty and must adhere to the Planning Analytics naming conventions. 

You can also delete any variable in a process. Hover the cursor on any variable name to reveal, and then click, the    icon.

The ability to add variables to a process is useful when you are creating a process, but the data source is not available. It’s also useful when the number of columns in the data source changes, as can occur when the data source of a process is modified at run time. 

If you have more variables in a process than columns in the data source, the process still works. The extra variables will simply be empty. ​
