Specifying variables for actions and action groups
You can create a scheduled task that runs a variety of data objects such as queries, quick reports, visual reports, and procedures containing parameters.
About this task
You use the Set Variables window to define how the parameter values must be passed to the source objects which are specified in the task. You can also use the specified parameters in actions themselves as substitution variables. For example, you can form the file system path by using parameters.
Note: Depending
on the type of an object, parameters are represented by different
elements. For queries, parameters are prompts defined for these queries.
For quick reports and visual reports, parameters are prompts specified
in queries on which these reports are based. For procedures, parameters
are variables defined in these procedures.
You can set parameter values for both action groups and single actions. You can also set the iterator for the same group. The parameters provided by the single action take precedence, then goes parameter values set for the group, then parameter values set by the iterator.
To specify parameter values:
