List of Configuration Variables (Employee)

The List of Configuration Variables lists the system-defined and user-defined Configuration Variables used by Transportation Manager. A Configuration Variable can be used when defining a URL or URL Parameters for a Function or System Screen Element Version Operation.

When the URL or URL Parameters for a Function or System Screen Element Version Operation contains a Configuration Variable ID, the URL is constructed using the applicable value:

For user-defined Configuration Variables, the value is extracted from the applicable row in the Configuration Variables table.

For example, if the URL Parameters field for a Function includes the string "<@Server1@>", when constructing the URL, Transportation Manager substitutes the Value from the row where Configuration Variable ID = "Server1".

For system-defined Configuration Variables, the applicable value is derived using a session value or using a value from a selected row. For example, if URL Parameters includes the string "<@User@>", Transportation Manager substitutes the actual User ID when constructing the URL.

List

By default, the List of Configuration Variables is sorted in ascending order by Configuration Variable ID.

For information on icons and functionalities available on the list pages, see Web Interface lists.

The Delete operation is available only for user-defined Configuration Variables.

Properties

The properties for a Configuration Variable are defined on a single page. System-defined Configuration Variables are always presented in read-only mode. Separate flags indicate whether the Configuration Variable can be used when defining Functions or System Screen Element Version Operations.

Note: Transportation Manager does not support recursive representation for Configuration Variables. The Value assigned to a user-defined Configuration Variable is used "as is". For example: If the Value assigned to "User Variable A" is "String1<@UserVariableB@>String2", Transportation Manager does not substitute the Value for User Variable B when constructing a URL using URL Parameters that refer to "UserVariableA".
