Variables (4:30 min)

This tutorial covers variables in Titan Flow including:

• System variables
• Static variables
• File variables
• Formula Numeric and String variables
  

Variables are the sole way of storing information in your Titan Flow. This information can be passed between nodes as well as be received as input and sent as output. Variables are important for understanding how Titan Flow functions.

1. Click the Project Settings gear icon.

2. Select the Tools tab and click the Custom Variables gear icon.

The custom variables window opens. Here you can configure variables.

These variables store values about the current date.

You can add a new system variable and map it to a default value of your choice.

Static variables offer more freedom as they can be used and changed throughout your project. You can evaluate them using conditions and change the value using nodes. They can also have a default value and be used as input when invoking a flow.

File variables are similar to static variables but contain files instead of static data. These variables can hold a single file or a list of files, and they can store important details about each file, such as name, type, and size.

Formula fields work with your variables to create dynamic formulas that generate new values.

You can create a numeric formula field to perform equations using your variables. The results of these equations can then be mapped to other variables.

String variables are useful when you need to concatenate variables. The results of these equations can be mapped to other variables.
