It is possible to manually insert variables into node fields and this is covered in the Request Variables section, here we are focusing on the use of the variable picker tool.

The Variable picker can be opened in one of two ways:

  • In most fields in business process nodes the Variable picker icon.png icon will be present and clicking on the icon will open the variable picker.
  • Select ctrl or cmd and left mouse click, this will also open the variable picker


The variables which are available to use will be governed by which nodes precede the node you want to use the variable picker on in your business process, and therefore what information (variables) are available. If i wanted to use a request variable such as customer in a node, then i would need to have preceded my process flow with an Automated Tasks > Requests > Get Request Information > Request Details.
