Creating a variable set

Variable sets contain variables that you can use across the different elements of a branch.

About this task

Each variable in a variable set consists of a name to identify it, an initial value, a verbalization, and a BOM type. Variables are accessible from business rules only if you verbalize them, that is, if you specify the text to be displayed in the rule editors. You can create new variable sets only if you have user permissions to do so.

Note:

You must create a smart folder that displays variable sets to see them in Decision Center.
